Abolish Daylight Saving Time to Decrease Crime

           The evidence that Daylight Saving Time is harmful to society keeps mounting.

           In addition to all the reasons I have observed before, such as the expense, the increase in accidents and damage to health, another reason to abolish Daylight Saving Time is the increase in violent crime in the Fall after the clocks are turned back an hour which causes the darkness to seem to appear an hour earlier, according to the latest academic study to add to the growing body of evidence of the negative affects of the useless practice.  There are more robberies, for example, under cover of dark, after clocks are turned back to Standard Time at the end of Daylight Saving Time.
