I would actually prefer this. There are studies that claim that crime and suicide rates go down when cities turn off the lights at night.

Are they good studies that go into the probable reasons and mechanisms?

Is it, Less Lights => Less people outside at night => Less crimes?

Lesser workplace crimes against women, if women aren't allowed to work?

And the logic used by the church as it goes against some supposed natural order attributed to some imaginary being is criticised here.

Curious about the aspect on suicide tho
