In New York, Number of Killings Rises With Heat (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/19/nyregion/19murder.html?_r=1)

And here is an interactive map describing each murder since 2003.

Each day, the New York Police Department announces major crimes, including most homicides, in the five boroughs. This data is compiled from those reports, in addition to news accounts, court records and additional reporting. The map will be updated as new information becomes available.

yea this happens alot. In Newark it starts goin off when it gets hot cause alot of people dont have AC, so they just go hang out outside. Way more people outside leads to more incidents

Crime going up when it gets warm is pretty standard in any temperate city.
