Abstract

A response is offered to the article "Do Police Brutality Stories Reduce 911 Calls? Reassessing an Important Criminological Finding," by Michael Zoorob, which appears within the issue. It examines Zoorob's study on whether a report of police violence against the African American Mr. Jude increased the crime rate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin through lessening 911 emergency telephone calls. It comments on the role that weather temperature and seasonality play in crime.
