The correlations between ambient temperature of preceding month, peripheral SERT denties (Bmax, as fM of ligand/mg of protein) and violent crime rates per 100,000 person years. When the temperature contemporaneous month was used in the analysis, the correlation coefficients were −0.46 (p = 0.13) with Bmax of controls, −0.68 (p = 0.02) with Bmax of violent offenders, and 0.75 (p = 0.005) with violent crime rate. The plots for those correlations are shown in Supplementary Figure S3.
