Los Angeles Domestic Violence Cases Expected to Rise in Summer Months

    LOS ANGELES, CA, March 08, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Domestic violence crimes are some of the most common criminal charges in Los Angeles. The Weinrieb Law Firm - a criminal defense law firm located in Los Angeles, CA - predicts the number of reported cases to rise in the summer of 2012.

While domestic violence can be triggered and fueled by many things, such as anger, jealousy, drug and alcohol abuse, and a history of domestic abuse in a person's family, there appears to be another interesting, and less obvious trigger leading to an increase of domestic violence: hot weather.

Trends show that as temperatures rise, so do incidents of domestic violence throughout Los Angeles County. The number of domestic violence arrests leading up to and during the hot summer months is significantly greater than the number of domestic violence arrests during cooler months.

As a criminal defense law firm specializing in Los Angeles domestic violence cases, the Weinrieb Law Firm consistently sees an influx of clients seeking legal representation during the hottest months. "Many years of representing clients in a wide variety of domestic violence cases provides our firm with not only the experience to deliver the best legal representation, but also insight into local trends," stated Garret Weinrieb, founding partner of the Weinrieb Law Firm.

While there is no absolute scientific answer to this phenomenon, we do know that hot weather increases irritability, causing some initially mild arguments to spiral out of control. Additionally, according to doctors and scientific studies, high temperatures cause the release of the chemical Serotonin to help cool the body down, but unfortunately this leaves less Serotonin for the brain to use. The result may be aggression, depression and irritability - all of which are fuel for domestic violence fires.
