It's possible that the 2007 DST extension reduced evening crime because sunset was still late enough for the difference to matter. I'm not sure that will remain true all winter. That is, even if DST ran all year, in the depth of winter it might still get dark early enough for the street criminals to come out between 5 and 8 PM.
The link (near the bottom of the article) about how DST causes problems for farmers is baffling. Surely if any enterprise should be run on solar time rather than clock time, it's a farm! Why can't they just adjust their schedules so the DST change is irrelevant??
