Light pollution has become a major problem across the United States, and even the rest of the world today.  Most of the lights that are lighting up the big cities across the world are building and street lights and many other things.  But some of this lighting is coming from cities that have a high crime rate, or a lot of criminals.

In a lot of big cities when crime rate is up, the city is making parks that are very well lit so young children can play without having to worry about someone kidnapping them or robbing them.  The light provides a safe place and allows you to see all around you unlike dark allies and streets.

Ian Cheney, the director of the movie says, "there is controversy over whether more light leads to less crime, but there is agreement that light seems to make people feel safer, almost like its built in our genes to move closer to the campfire or to the brightest city."  In my opinion light does make people feel safer, which is why little kids want to sleep with the light on when they still believe in monsters under the bed.  The lack of light can also cause people to see things, because they are scared and paranoid.

In my opinion, more lights do lead to less crime with humans, but it is causing more harm to animals, which can be considered crime also.  More lights do lead to a lower crime rate because there is no where to hide when things are lit up. But the bright lights are causing animals to go off of a normall migration paths and die.  Lights are a vital source in the crime world, but i think they can innovate on the lights and make them more efficient to the world.
