Not to downplay anything in T&R's post, I think there's is much validity to it; however, when it comes to full moon behavior, there are other considerations.
Rush Limbaugh used to talk about people (primarily liberals) whose knowledge of history starts the day the were born i.e., events were framed through the window of their own experience, and not in any greater historical context.
There is not a person alive today (with the possible limited exceptions of those in some remote isolated tribes) who is not familiar with or accustomed to electric lighting. And yet, in terms of the human experience, it's a pretty new phenomenon, only being around in widespread use for around 125 years or so.
As a result, people today have little awareness of how dark things really get at night without electricity and how much light a full moon can actually provide. Prior to electricity, people were much more in tune with the phases of the moon as that (apart from candles or oil lamps) was the primary source of night time illumination. The, "harvest moon," is named as such because it allowed agricultural workers one last chance to work late and bring in any and all remaining crops. It was so for thousands of years. Without electricity a full moon contributes to all sorts of activities, nefarious ones included. Historically speaking there may have been a rise in criminal activity during full moons, but much of that is simply the result of their being more activity in general under a full moon.
Go camping during a full moon at Natural Bridges park in Utah.
You’ll see quite well.
Do it during a new moon and you’ll see how much light the stars produce!
