Context: Temperature and labour markets can move alongside crime, but correlation does not equal causation. Use filters by offence category and time period to see which patterns are robust and which may be noise.

📌 Interpretation Tips

  • Seasonality: warmer months often mean more outdoor activity — some offence types may show stronger summer peaks.
  • Economy: unemployment moves slowly; focus on broad cycles rather than month-to-month changes when comparing to crime.
  • Always compare like-for-like categories and check for policy, reporting, or population changes before drawing conclusions.
