In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$ random points $X_0, \dots, X_d$ are chosen. Their convex hull is a random simplex. The expected volume of a random simplex is monotone under set inclusion, if $K \subset L$ implies that the expected volume of a random simplex in $K$ is smaller than the expected volume of a random simplex in $L$. Continuing work of Rademacher, it is shown that moments of the volume of random simplices are in general not monotone under set inclusion.
