Why is murder so seasonal?

Too cold to murder efficiently in the winter

So, ice bullets still aren’t a thing?

Physics hasn't changed much

Several reasons have been proposed: people are outdoors more in the summer, interacting socially rather than watching TV. School's out, so more teenagers with not much to do but hang out and get into fights.

Interestingly the seasonal trend is just as strong in warm states as cold states suggesting that it's more about school than temperature.

Extra hours of sunlight make us want to permanently close other peoples eyes?

It’s why they put air conditioning in prisons. Heat makes people snap.

Not in the south. Most prisons in the south don't have air conditionings. That makes working in the prison pig farm a choice position as those places have air conditioning, because it would be inhumane not to.
