U.K. police force will muscle up for full moon's aggressive 'idiots'

Police in southern England are putting more officers on the streets during full moons because they believe the lunar cycle may be linked to violent behaviour. Sussex Police have found that drinkers in Brighton and Hove are particularly aggressive during full moons. "I compared a graph of full moons and a graph of last year's violent crimes and there is a trend," Inspector Andy Parr told the Brighton Argus newspaper. "People tend to be more aggressive generally." The announcement has led some locals to joke that werewolves may be loose on the city's streets. "When there is a full moon out, we look at the sky and say, 'Oh no, all the idiots will be out tonight,' " said Terry Wing, who works as a bouncer. "I will start looking at the back of people's hands for hair next time."

I had heard of this phenomenon years and years ago. I do not recall ever hearing an explanation for why it might be, however.

Well, off the top of my head, maybe its because the moon affects water as in the tides right - so maybe because humans are made of a lot of water it affects us
