Oh. I was expecting that it was a variation on the theme explored by
Isaac Asimov in Nightfall. After thousands of years, the stars of the
outer solar system are so configured that nights will no longer be
illuminated by the light of one or more distant stars, at least for
half the year, and so the crime rate would go up...

But, no, the title merely referred to the metaphorical night of
the fall of civilization, not the real night which happens once
a day. A planet that can't tell the true from the false, no wonder
they're in so much trouble.
