The fairly strong seasonality for black homicides suggests more evidence for my suggestion that, in contrast to Case and Deaton’s “Deaths of Despair” among whites from opioids, suicides, and liver damage, black on black homicides tend to be more “Deaths of Exuberance.”

One possibility is that summer outdoor parties in the inner city tend to be larger in space and attendees than winter indoor parties, and the more inner city blacks attending a party, the higher the chance per capita of Unwanted Party Guests and a subsequent shooting. At a January house party, you can more easily turn troublesome people away at the door, but a July picnic in the park has a large, hard-to-guard perimeter. But that’s just speculation.
