    Increased serotonin levels occur at these temps.

    did the fires come first to warm it up enough for rioting, or did the riots risk it all in the cold to start the fires?

    As a scientist I cringe everytime I see these words. Very little actual 'science' here and most probably carried out by some humanities graduate to fill newpaper space - Daily Mail I'm guessing

    A statistics,

    measure the frequency of riots and graph that against temperature, noticed a correlation and express it as fact ignoring the impact fiscal markets may have?

    Anything that could be riot potential just turns into a session here. Just watch, Student protest on Wednesday next will be a session, too.

    More crimes in hot weather too apparently. People tend to have shorter fuses when they're warmer
