Are There Really
Murder Months ?

AVE you ever heard of the "Almanack Of
i i Crme"? 1t is one of the most remark
able amanacs ever published, and is the
result OF many years. research by well known
european crime expert, who has been steadily
collecting statistics for it nearly all his life
me origin of this unique almanac is very sim
pie' Like good many others, the expert thought
not only that crime was more common during
certain months of the year, but that certain
crimes occurred more frequently in one month
tnan IN another. No one else, however, has taken
the trouble to test the theory thoroughly, and SO
the almanac was born
The compiler found that most cases of murder
occurred in January, June and August, and few
est in November, December and February. The
favorte month with prisoners is May, while the
month they liked least is September September
IN fact, is of the least "crmey" months in the
whole calendar.
Just as murderers dislike November and De.
cember. it was just in these months that burglars
and thieves generally got busy. Forgers, as one
might have expected chose round about quarter
days more frequently than any other times in the
year to show their skill.
