Abstract

This report analyses the effects of LED streetlight conversions on nighttime firearm crimes in Dallas, Texas. Using data from 2020 through May of 2022 on reported firearm crimes and LED conversions, using a differences-in-differences strategy (comparing trends in daytime firearm crimes compared to those at night), I find no evidence that LED conversions result in decreased nighttime firearm crimes in this sample. Code and Data to replicate the report findings can be obtained here <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l5khtwss97relp8/AACx2TYMYCt7ICTOnKUHHtuWa?dl=0> .
