Abstract
In Salem (MA), the Witch City, Halloween is the largest economic event in the city - for tourists, locals, restaurants, hotels, traffic, and crime. Culminating in the actual day & night of Halloween, the month of Haunted Happenings" is felt by the police courts and county jail in a manner proportionate to the promotion and disproportionate to both the rest of the year and neighboring communities. Criminal activity shifts in demographics offenses and processing of cases throughout the entire criminal justice system. Presentation addresses interesting aspects of this shift and how it is addressed by the police courts and jail."
