Courtney Stavely, psychology program coordinator and lecturer at MGA, discusses the correlation between rising temperatures and crime rates with 13WMAZ.
"'Most people who take an Intro to Psych class get this story that there's a positive correlation between a rise in aggressive crimes and ice cream sales. Really there's a lot of evidence that supports that to be true, that as temperatures rise so do people's temper and levels of aggression,' Stavely said."
