Isaac Asimov did an interesting short article on the full moon and increased crime. He concludes crime goes up because we have a connection to the full moon rather than the extra lighting. His article was written decades ago. I suspect today he'd change that idea given the better data available. Personally I think adding lighting to cities makes personal safety far better. I get what the studies are doing but I think they are relying on novelty to get published over boring. But certainly you have to watch putting someone down a well-lit underpass over crossing a not so well-lit busy road. I think the value to the data is for councils to find where lighting should be improved. Plus there's also more to safety than just crime.
