The criminology intereted in studying the reasons why the criminal commit the crime , without regard to its consequences...criminology neither focus on following up the offender nor punishing him/her , but it just asks one question : what made the offender commit the crime???
Among the theories that came out of criminology...a theory called " the thermal law of crime " , the founders of this theory believe that the weather affect the offender in a way that he commits a specific type of crimes...
They think that the person who lives in cold areas or feels cold ( especially in winter ) usually commits the crimes of funds , theft , fraud...etc
The reason of this , according to their opinion is that , who lives in such a weather requires a lot of food and has to wear winter cloths which cost an arm and a leg...so this person steals anything as a last resort simply because he didn't find enough money to meet his needs .
People who live in hot areas or feel hot ( in summer )...commit crimes such as murder , beatings...etc , because the heat increases the human emotions which makes them lose their temper for trivial reasons...and would harm anyone who argued with them.
In the mild weather , usually in spring or fall the human beings have a tendency to commit the crimes of honor such as the rape , and that's because the spring is the season of reproduction for most living organisms and therefore , people tend to have sex...for the reason that the atmosphere is romantic...so , some resort to satisfy their instincts illegaly .
There is a Russian theory determines the number of crimes in a particular area...it's the average temperature of a month multiplied by seven , added to the rate of humidity , the result is multiplied by two...but...is this really true???
The human beings are affected psychologically by the climate in which they live...however , this is not a motive for the crime.
When we return to the archive of crimes throughout the history...we will not be able to explain the relationship between the crime and the weather for instance , there was a prefessional murderer Montague John Dorry called " Jack the butcher "...his favorite pastime was : killing the prostitues...that was in London...he died in 1889 .
This murderer committed crimes in all the months of the year , he killed Marry Nicola in August , then he killed Annie Cheyenne and Elizabeth Streed in September , in November he killed Mary John Kelly...
In December he killed Alice Dube...if we try to explain these murders according to the thermal law of crime...we notice that it doesn't fit the data avaitable about this criminal...if this theory is true...Jack would kill only Mary Nicola , and rape both Annie and Elizabeth...considering that the crime occured in fall , then he would steal Alice's house because it's the begining of winter.
But here , I'd like dear readers to point out the importance of this theory...it may serve for a discussion of that range of crimes which are closely linked to the psychology of the criminal offence of suicide.
If climate is really one of the causes of crime...we must think seriously about leaving the earth and looking for another planet...
Maybe we could find a planet with five seasons in a year , in which crimes are not committed.
Finally , dear readers...did you notice that there's a resemblance between Montague John and my blog???
I wouldn't make you think a lot!!!...John committed his crimes at the end of the week...at the same time of my articles!
