  Here's one: "The incidence of crimes reported to three police stations in different towns (one rural, one urban, one industrial) was studied to see if it varied with the day of the lunar cycle. The period of the study covered 1978-82. The incidence of crimes committed on full moon days was much higher than on all other days, new moon days, and seventh days after the full moon and new moon". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1444800/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1444800/ And here's a different take from Finland: "Conclusions Contrary to current scientific opinion, an association exists between moon phases and homicides, and contrary to what has been previously assumed, homicides declined during the full moon, especially in earlier decades. However, the causality of the association remains elusive" https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/1/e022759 https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/1/e022759
