According to Medium, people often worry about violent crime rates in their neighborhoods but a recent study in Colorado looked at something different: when violent crimes happen throughout the year. They focused on crimes like assault and murder checking data from different counties over 13 years. They found that certain months like August, July, and May, had more of these crimes. February, November, and December had fewer.

Community Size and Crime Correlation
Adams County – A Focus on Summer Violent Crime
To understand why this happens, they looked closely at places like Adams and Huerfano counties. Even though Adams is big and Huerfano is small they both had more violent crimes in the summer months. This made researchers wonder if the number of people living in an area affects how much crime happens there.
Utilizing Data for Safer Neighborhoods
The study found that Adams County, especially in August was the most dangerous place and time in Colorado for violent crime. This information isn’t just numbers; it makes people think about how to keep communities safe. Programs like District Attorney Brian Mason’s reform efforts in Adams County could be part of the solution. As researchers keep learning they show how important it is to use data to make neighborhoods safer for everyone.
