Engineering360: "Report Debunks "Myth" About Crime and Well-Lit Streets"

This must mean that more people walk on well lit streets as opposed to dark unlit roads. That must also mean criminals go where there is more likely to be victims. That's a finding that positively answers one of life's great mysteries for me personally. I think this previously unknown finding requires further study with a very large government grant so that university professors can study the phenomena and write papers on such nonsense to prove that this is indeed the case.

This is not the first time that such a study has been made and both came up with similar results. Lighting is put up to reduce the FEAR of the crime, not just the crime itself.
