I haven't seen a credible study that shows more lighting reduces crime. I wouldn't be surprised if more lighting increased reported crime at night in the same way more policing increases the number of people who enter the justice system until criminals adapt. But most crime is done in broad daylight or beyond the reach of outside lights, so I doubt lighting has much to do with it.
