Moon Phases Linked to Dade County Murders Study
University of Miami researchers led by Dr. Arnold L. Lieber and Dr. Carolyn R. Sherin report a two year analysis of 1,900 murders from 1956 to 1970 showing a rise in homicide rate about 24 hours before the full moon, peaking at full moon, and a secondary peak at the new moon. They describe biological tides as a potential trigger in emotionally unstable individuals, noting peaks during maximum tidal force about every 14 months with daily murders reaching four or five at times.
