During periods when groups practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs exceeded the square root of one percent of the population, crime decreased in Metro Manila, Philippines (mid-August 1984 to late January 1985); Washington, D.C. (October 1981 to October 1983); and the Union Territory of Delhi, India (November 1980 to March 1981). Time series analysis verified that these decreases in crime could not have been due to trends or cycles of crime, or to changes in police policies and procedures.
