"An Analysis of Child Sex Crime Rates on Halloween" by Chaffin, Levenson, Letourneau and Stern found that relevant offending "[r]ates did not differ from expectation, no increased rate on or just before Halloween was found, and Halloween incidents did not evidence unusual case characteristics. Findings were invariant across years, both prior to and after these policies became popular. These findings raise questions about the wisdom of diverting law enforcement resources to attend to a problem that does not appear to exist."<ref>[http://sax.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/21/3/363 Chaffin, M.
