Exposure to air pollutants, especially small particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), may heighten the risk of death by suicide and suicidal thoughts, suggests a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.

Aggravated assault rate means "how much people report aggravated assault" rather than how much it happens. The only kind of crime where this problem isn't present is murdur.

Oh wait i see: the 20 year delay. My point still stands but I thought you were saying more lead → less assault.
