Support In university towns, police issue far more parking citations during the school year than they do during the times when the students are out of town. ██████████ ██ ████ ████ ████ ███████ █████████ ██ ██████████ █████ ███ ██████ ██ █████████
The argument starts with the description of a phenomenon (police in university towns issue more parking citations during the school year than when students are out of town) and then moves to a conclusion that attributes a cause to that phenomenon (that most parking citations in university towns are issued to students).
This is a cookie-cutter “assuming correlation proves causation” flaw. The author notes that police in university towns issue more parking citations during the school year than when students are out of town and, as a result, concludes that most parking citations in university towns are issued to students. However, we have no way of knowing who’s receiving the citations. Sure, an increase in parking citations may be correlated with students being in town, but we can’t definitively conclude that the increased issuance of parking citations is caused by students being in town.
