Pulverized Particles Propel Pilfering: The Peculiar Connection between Phoenix Air Quality and Robberies
[[ABSTRACT]]
As lighthearted as it may sound, our research delves into the serious investigation of the relationship between air quality and the incidence of robberies in Phoenix, Arizona. Utilizing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services, our study navigates through layers of data to uncover surprising patterns and correlations. Our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.7516284 and a p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning 1985 to 2022, showcasing a robust statistical association.
In scrutinizing the nexus between ambient air pollution and criminal activities, we unearthed a plethora of noteworthy insights. The data unequivocally suggested that on days with higher levels of air pollution, there tended to be an uptick in the number of reported robberies. It appears that pollution may not only cloud our skies but also influence certain behaviors, much to the chagrin of law enforcement and environmentalists alike.
Substantiating these findings, our team theorizes that when the air quality is poor, individuals may be more inclined to engage in criminal behaviors, perhaps due to the irritable effects of pollutants. Maybe the notion of "taking a breath of fresh air" holds even greater significance in the realm of crime prevention than previously thought.
With such compelling correlations, our research contributes a fresh perspective to the interdisciplinary study of environmental and criminological factors. This correlation is, in fact, so strong it could almost be considered theft!
Therefore, our paper not only sheds light on the intriguing interplay of air quality and criminal activities but also takes a lighthearted approach to tackling the serious implications of these findings. By making use of puns and jests, we hope to inspire further exploration and serious consideration of this unexpected relationship between elements that normally exist in separate spheres.

[[INTRODUCTION]]
In the annals of investigative research, some connections seem more improbable than a penguin in the desert. However, our study surmounts the incredulous and ventures into the peculiar correlation between air quality and robberies in the bustling metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona. This investigation was not spurred by a mere flight of fancy, but by the intriguing possibility that the invisible particles permeating the air might have a palpable effect on criminal activity. As we delved into this quirky inquiry, we not only uncovered compelling data but also stumbled upon a few "air"-resistible puns along the way.
The nexus between air quality and crime may at first seem like a "breath of fresh air" in the field of criminology, but our rigorous analysis reveals that this connection is anything but an idle "whiff" of speculation. Our investigation hinges on the premise that the quality of the air we breathe could be linked to the quality of security in our surroundings. After all, it's not every day that one finds oneself concerning with the statistical interplay between air pollutants and purloined possessions.
While we certainly don't mean to "pollute" the academic discourse with frivolity, it's worth noting that our findings "clearly" demonstrate a strong statistical association between air quality and the incidence of robberies. The correlation coefficient of 0.7516284 is not to be "sneezed" at, and the p-value of less than 0.01 only adds to the "air of certainty" surrounding our results. This firm statistical footing allows us to assert that there's more to these seemingly disparate realms of air monitoring and crime prevention than meets the "dust".
Jovial banter aside, our research yields a crucial revelation: on days marked by elevated levels of air pollution, an increase in reported robberies was a "foregone conclusion". It would seem that the haze of pollutants not only clouds our vision but also "fogs" certain behavioral inclinations. Our study hints at the possibility that inhaling pollutants may lead to exhaling valuables in unauthorized settings, leading one to ponder if the "cleaner" the air, the fewer the misdemeanors. It's as if the pollutants are "dusting off" the latent impulses of mischief in unsuspecting individuals.
In the realm of theoretical explanation, our team posits that exposure to poor air quality may instigate irritability or stress that nudges individuals towards engaging in criminal behaviors. The adage of "don't let them get under your skin" takes on a whole new meaning when viewed through the prism of air quality and criminal activity. Perhaps the saying "the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife" takes on an ominous ring in the context of theft.
In this vein, our study not only presents a novel dimension to the field of criminology but also serves as a poignant reminder that even seemingly unrelated phenomena may hold a deeper "breath" of interconnectivity. By bringing to light this unexpected correlation, we endeavor to spark further research and discourse on the enigmatic interplay of environmental elements and criminal proclivities. As we embark on this scholarly escapade, armed with statistical tools and a penchant for puns, let us journey forth to uncover the "thefty" secrets lurking within the smoggy streets of Phoenix.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
To uncover the nuanced relationship between air quality and incidences of robberies in Phoenix, we conducted an exhaustive and meticulous analysis of extensive datasets spanning nearly four decades. Our data primarily originated from the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality System database, which provided comprehensive information on various air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide concentrations. Additionally, we obtained crime data from the FBI's UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting) Program, an impressive repository encompassing diverse criminal offenses, with particular emphasis on robbery incidents, within the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Our approach to harmonizing these disparate datasets was as precise as the meticulous stitching on a burglar's getaway bag, ensuring a seamless integration of temporal and geographical information for robust analysis. The time frame for our study encompassed the years 1985 to 2022, allowing us to capture temporal trends and evaluate the long-term impact of air quality on criminal activities.
To begin our analysis, we utilized advanced statistical techniques and software, diligently sifting through mountains of data like scrupulous detectives on the trail of a cunning fugitive. Our initial step involved calculating daily average pollutant concentrations and categorizing them based on air quality indices and periods of exacerbation. Concurrently, we compiled daily robbery counts, meticulously categorizing them to correspond with the specified time frame and geographical location within Phoenix.
A relevant dad joke here: "Our data analysis was as thorough as a detective searching for clues at a crime scene, but luckily, we didn't need a magnifying glass to uncover these correlations - just a good old statistical analysis!"
Upon the completion of this laborious task, we then navigated through the labyrinth of statistical methodologies to discern patterns and correlations. Through rigorous regression analyses, we sought to unravel the potential connection between varying levels of air pollution and the frequency of reported robberies. Our keen-eyed team of statisticians and data scientists diligently examined the relationship between specific air pollutants and instances of robberies, accounting for potential confounding variables such as socioeconomic factors and weather conditions.
A relevant dad joke here: "We didn't need a crystal ball to predict these correlations - just a good old regression analysis and some keen statistical arithmetic!"
Furthermore, to fortify our findings and lend credence to the peculiar coherence between air quality and criminal activities, we conducted spatiotemporal analyses, mapping the spatial distribution of air pollutants and the geographic clusters of robbery occurrences across Phoenix. This approach allowed us to gain a nuanced understanding of localized effects and temporal variations, akin to tracing the footsteps of elusive criminals through intricate city maps and surveillance footage.
Finally, in employing a rigorous comparative analysis, we contrasted the distinct patterns of air quality fluctuations with the corresponding ebb and flow of robbery rates, enabling us to discern the intriguing association between these ostensibly unrelated phenomena. The resulting analysis, akin to a high-stakes game of "cat and mouse," revealed a compelling narrative of how ambient air pollution might exert an influence on the propensity for criminal behaviors, adding an unexpected twist to the conventional storyline of urban criminology.
In summary, our multi-faceted methodology encompassed the thorough amalgamation of disparate datasets, robust statistical modeling, and meticulous spatial analyses, converging into a cohesive narrative that uncovers the intriguing interplay of air quality and criminal activities in Phoenix, Arizona. This unconventional investigation, much like a cunning caper, highlights the unexpected connections that "lurk in the air" and the potential implications for both environmental monitoring and crime prevention strategies.

This investigation was not spurred by a mere flight of fancy, but by the intriguing possibility that the invisible particles permeating the air might have a palpable effect on criminal activity. As we delved into this quirky inquiry, we not only uncovered compelling data but also stumbled upon a few "air"-resistible puns along the way.
The nexus between air quality and crime may at first seem like a "breath of fresh air" in the field of criminology, but our rigorous analysis reveals that this connection is anything but an idle "whiff" of speculation. Our investigation hinges on the premise that the quality of the air we breathe could be linked to the quality of security in our surroundings. After all, it's not every day that one finds oneself concerning with the statistical interplay between air pollutants and purloined possessions.
While we certainly don't mean to "pollute" the academic discourse with frivolity, it's worth noting that our findings "clearly" demonstrate a strong statistical association between air quality and the incidence of robberies. The correlation coefficient of 0.7516284 is not to be "sneezed" at, and the p-value of less than 0.01 only adds to the "air of certainty" surrounding our results. This firm statistical footing allows us to assert that there's more to these seemingly disparate realms of air monitoring and crime prevention than meets the "dust".
Jovial banter aside, our research yields a crucial revelation: on days marked by elevated levels of air pollution, an increase in reported robberies was a "foregone conclusion". It would seem that the haze of pollutants not only clouds our vision but also "fogs" certain behavioral inclinations. Our study hints at the possibility that inhaling pollutants may lead to exhaling valuables in unauthorized settings, leading one to ponder if the "cleaner" the air, the fewer the misdemeanors. It's as if the pollutants are "dusting off" the latent impulses of mischief in unsuspecting individuals.
In the realm of theoretical explanation, our team posits that exposure to poor air quality may instigate irritability or stress that nudges individuals towards engaging in criminal behaviors. The adage of "don't let them get under your skin" takes on a whole new meaning when viewed through the prism of air quality and criminal activity. Perhaps the saying "the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife" takes on an ominous ring in the context of theft.
In this vein, our study not only presents a novel dimension to the field of criminology but also serves as a poignant reminder that even seemingly unrelated phenomena may hold a deeper "breath" of interconnectivity. By bringing to light this unexpected correlation, we endeavor to spark further research and discourse on the enigmatic interplay of environmental elements and criminal proclivities. As we embark on this scholarly escapade, armed with statistical tools and a penchant for puns, let us journey forth to uncover the "thefty" secrets lurking within the smoggy streets of Phoenix.

Pulverized Particles Propel Pilfering: The Peculiar Connection between Phoenix Air Quality and Robberies
[[ABSTRACT]]
As lighthearted as it may sound, our research delves into the serious investigation of the relationship between air quality and the incidence of robberies in Phoenix, Arizona. Utilizing data from the Environmental Protection Agency and the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services, our study navigates through layers of data to uncover surprising patterns and correlations. Our findings revealed a striking correlation coefficient of 0.7516284 and a p-value of less than 0.01 for the period spanning 1985 to 2022, showcasing a robust statistical association.
In scrutinizing the nexus between ambient air pollution and criminal activities, we unearthed a plethora of noteworthy insights. The data unequivocally suggested that on days with higher levels of air pollution, there tended to be an uptick in the number of reported robberies. It appears that pollution may not only cloud our skies but also influence certain behaviors, much to the chagrin of law enforcement and environmentalists alike.
Substantiating these findings, our team theorizes that when the air quality is poor, individuals may be more inclined to engage in criminal behaviors, perhaps due to the irritable effects of pollutants. Maybe the notion of "taking a breath of fresh air" holds even greater significance in the realm of crime prevention than previously thought.
With such compelling correlations, our research contributes a fresh perspective to the interdisciplinary study of environmental and criminological factors. This correlation is, in fact, so strong it could almost be considered theft!
Therefore, our paper not only sheds light on the intriguing interplay of air quality and criminal activities but also takes a lighthearted approach to tackling the serious implications of these findings. By making use of puns and jests, we hope to inspire further exploration and serious consideration of this unexpected relationship between elements that normally exist in separate spheres.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "The Air Pollution-Robbery Nexus: A Statistical Analysis," Smith and Doe perform a comprehensive examination of the relationship between air quality and incidences of theft in urban areas. Their study provides a foundational understanding of the potential influence of air pollution on criminal behavior. The authors find a statistically significant positive correlation between particulate matter concentrations and the occurrence of robberies, shedding light on the unexpected interplay between environmental factors and criminal activities.
In "Air Quality and Crime: An Empirical Investigation," Jones explores the association between air pollution levels and various types of criminal offenses, including theft, burglary, and robbery. The study employs sophisticated statistical methods to analyze data from multiple cities, revealing consistent patterns of increased crime rates in areas with elevated air pollution. These findings underscore the broader societal implications of air quality, extending beyond public health and environmental concerns to encompass public safety and security.
Moving onto a more unconventional study, "Smog and the Art of Robbery," by Lorem and Ipsum, takes a more qualitative approach in examining the impact of air pollution on criminal motivations. Through in-depth interviews with convicted offenders, the authors uncover an unexpected theme: the influence of bad air quality on individuals' decision to engage in unlawful activities. One of the interviewees even joked, "I had to steal just to afford a gas mask to breathe properly!"
In the field of non-fiction books, "The Air We Breathe" by Andrea Barrett delves into the historical and scientific understanding of air pollution, offering a comprehensive exploration of its societal implications. Additionally, "Choked" by Beth Gardiner provides a sobering account of the global air pollution crisis and its far-reaching effects on human health and well-being.
On a more fictional note, "The Air Affair" by Jasper Fforde presents an alternative reality where air quality regulation becomes a whimsical adventure for the protagonist, blending elements of satire and detective fiction. Similarly, "The Smog Sleuth" by E. W. Hildick spins a tale of mystery and intrigue set in a dystopian world where air pollution plays a central role in the plot.
Shifting from books to cartoons, "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" instills environmental awareness in young audiences, teaching them about the detrimental effects of pollution through the adventures of eco-friendly superheroes. Furthermore, the animated series "Hey Arnold!" touches on urban environmental issues, subtly addressing the impact of city smog on the characters' daily lives.
In conclusion, while the scholarly literature provides valuable insights into the connection between air quality and criminal activities, it is essential to approach this subject with a "breath" of humor. By integrating a dash of mirth into our academic discourse, we can open new avenues for discussion and discovery, all while delivering a pun or two along the way. After all, as researchers, it's our solemn "air-duty" to keep the atmosphere engaging and occasionally "punny"!

[[DISCUSSION]]
Our study confirms and builds upon the prior research that has indicated a significant association between air quality and criminal activities. Smith and Doe's statistical analysis laid a sturdy foundation for our understanding of the intersection between air pollution and theft, and our results in Phoenix mirrored their findings with a correlation coefficient that could almost be considered grand larceny. Likewise, Jones's investigation into air quality and various criminal offenses, including robbery, resonated with our study, further cementing the correlation between the two seemingly distinct realms.
However, our findings extend beyond mere confirmation of prior research. They illustrate a compelling link between air quality and criminal activities, shedding light on the surprising impact of environmental factors on human behavior. Just as Lorem and Ipsum's qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with convicted offenders hinted at the influence of bad air quality on criminal motivations, our quantitative analysis paints a vivid picture of the tangible relationship between heightened air pollution and increased instances of robbery. The collective weight of these studies serves as a reminder that the air we breathe may have more influence over our actions than previously assumed – proving that when it comes to impacts on criminal behavior, air pollution may, in fact, be "as thick as thieves."
Our findings also set the stage for further inquiry into the underlying mechanisms by which air pollution may influence criminal behaviors. Whether it's the irritability caused by pollutants leading to heightened aggression or the psychological stress induced by poor air quality contributing to criminal impulses, the implications of our research provide a breath of fresh air for future investigations in criminology and environmental psychology. Our study suggests that the 'nexus' between air quality and criminal activity may not simply stop at broad correlations but could be indicative of intricate cause-and-effect relationships, prompting a closer inspection of the entangled web of environmental and criminological factors.
As with any novel research, our study is not without its limitations. While our statistical analysis reveals a compelling correlation, it does not definitively establish causation. Just as the presence of fingerprints at a crime scene does not immediately incriminate someone, our findings must be cautiously interpreted in the broader context of environmental and societal influences. Moreover, the scope of our study is limited to the specific context of Phoenix, and the generalizability of our results to other regions warrants further investigation. These limitations serve as a stark reminder that while our findings are fascinating and compelling, they should be viewed within the broader landscape of interdisciplinary research.
In conclusion, while our results may appear to steal the spotlight in highlighting the unexpected relationship between air quality and robbery, they merely scratch the surface of what promises to be an intricate and captivating area of research. By approaching this subject with wit and curiosity – much like a wry detective on the trail of a compelling mystery – our study stirs the academic pot and adds an exhilarating breath of humor into the often serious discourse of environmental and criminological research. After all, as researchers, it's indeed our inherent "air-duty" to keep the atmosphere of scholarly study engaging and occasionally "punny"!

[[CONCLUSION]]
In conclusion, our research offers tangible evidence of the surprising relationship between air quality and the incidence of robberies in Phoenix, Arizona. The compelling correlation coefficient of 0.7516284 and the p-value of less than 0.01 leave little room for doubt – it seems that the air in Phoenix may have been figuratively and quite literally "stealing the show" when it comes to criminal activities. Our findings not only "clear the air" surrounding the seemingly improbable connection between air pollutants and purloined possessions but also pave the way for further exploration into the unexpected influence of environmental factors on criminal behaviors.
From a theoretical standpoint, our team proposes that the irritability induced by exposure to poor air quality might nudge individuals towards engaging in criminal behaviors. It's as if the pollutants are "dusting off" the latent impulses of mischief in unsuspecting individuals. Perhaps the saying "the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife" takes on an ominous ring in the context of theft. However, more research is "air"-ily unnecessary in this area; with the substantial evidence we've gathered, it's safe to say that we've made significant strides in shedding light on this air-raising correlation.

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.5649453 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 56.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Robberies in the US) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Air quality in Phoenix) over the 38 years from 1985 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.4E-8. 0.0000000537209799855125100000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.75 in 5.4E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 18,614,701 random variables You don't actually need 18 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 37 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 37 because we have two variables measured over a period of 38 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.57, 0.86 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
Try it yourself
You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.
Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"
Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.
Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.
Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.
Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"
If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:
"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."
When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.

The image linked here is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG). It is the highest resolution that is possible to achieve. It scales up beyond the size of the observable universe without pixelating. You do not need to email me asking if I have a higher resolution image. I do not. The physical limitations of our universe prevent me from providing you with an image that is any higher resolution than this one.
If you insert it into a PowerPoint presentation (a tool well-known for managing things that are the scale of the universe), you can right-click > "Ungroup" or "Create Shape" and then edit the lines and text directly. You can also change the colors this way.
Alternatively you can use a tool like Inkscape. - High resolution line chart, optimized for mobile
