This article talks about how there is actually no increase in child sex crimes with children 12 and under on Halloween night. I was curious about this statistic, along with other crime statistics that are affiliated with Halloween itself. I figured that the fact that everybody is dressed up as something else allows those who commit crimes to be able to cover themselves up. I stumbled upon this article, and it said how the child sex crimes don't increase at all on this particular night, so as parents should always use precaution with trick or treating, but for the most part the crimes against children are not heightened at all on this night.
