While COVID-19 lockdowns affected nearly everyone worldwide, feelings of anxiety and fear were exacerbated for those already entangled in the criminal justice system. Scholars recognized the unique opportunity to study crime and the justice system’s response during this period, though they soon realized that determining the pandemic’s effects would be a complicated, nuanced process.
Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic features analyses and findings from more than thirty contributors in eleven essays. The collection examines the multifaceted social, economic, cultural, legislative, and policy responses to COVID-19 and their impacts on crime and justice. It also explores how professionals across the criminal justice system—police officers, campus police officers, attorneys, judges, correctional staff, and community supervision agents—adapted to unprecedented challenges.
The book provides real-world evidence of how unconventional solutions and groundbreaking practices were implemented in response to a global crisis. Contributors analyze how incarcerated individuals, their families, and their supervisors dealt with the fear of transmission, medical care, and death. Their findings, which are necessarily dependent on timing, place, measurement, and operationalization, include both change and stasis, both negative and positive outcomes. For instance, while minor and property-related offenses initially declined, violent crimes like homicide and intimate partner violence increased. Drug usage patterns changed, leading to a rise in opioid overdoses, and despite the rise in digital interactions, there was no significant difference in self-reported cybervictimization. Furthermore, rates of gang-related crimes did not decrease. Policy and public health responses reshaped criminal activities, influencing the methods and motivations behind theft, child and elder abuse, and other offenses. This volume includes in-depth examinations of certain often-overlooked crimes, such as labor trafficking, and provides direct insights into the job challenges faced by criminal justice professionals, from probation personnel to labor rights advocates.
Emerging innovations in health risk management within correctional facilities led to increased awareness and focus on specific types of crime. Responses to the pandemic revealed significant challenges, such as burnout among justice system personnel, difficulties in adapting and innovating, and challenges in providing services to vulnerable populations.
Through diverse perspectives and empirical approaches ranging from advanced statistical analysis to qualitative interviews, Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic offers a comprehensive exploration of the complexities that affect research results. It showcases the resilience and innovation within the criminal justice field and details the challenges professionals in this area tackled during a universally trying time, presenting valuable lessons for future crises.

Introduction: COVID-19, Crime, & Criminal Justice
In late fall of 2019, news broke of a spreading virus originating in Wuhan, China. The highly infectious COVID-19 virus quickly spread throughout the winter months and in spring of 2020 had global impacts. Governments around the world quickly issued “stay at home” orders, adopted measures to restrict domestic and international travel, and sought to implement effective public health strategies to mitigate the spread of the virus. Throughout the remainder of 2020 and into 2022, nations sought to identify and enact public health policies to mitigate the spread of the virus and to reduce the consequences of infection, including masking policies, vaccination requirements, and various degrees of quarantine. Educational institutions and workplaces faced shutdown, masking policies and vaccine mandates emerged over time, and responses varied enormously across place and time. International and domestic travel restrictions began to soften by mid-2022, as vaccination access and usage increased. Many nations began to remove masking requirements in 2022 and by 2023 many nations had begun to conclude their public health declarations connected with COVID-19. Despite the on-going presence of the virus and the continued rates of infection and death, from a political and policy view point, the pandemic phase of life with COVID-19 was winding down globally by 2023. Collectively, these had a tremendous social, economic, and behavioral impact.
Crime and criminal justice were part of the mass societal moves. Within months of the emergence of COVID-19, researchers and policymakers alike quickly realized there would be shifts in human and social behavior connected with criminal victimization and perpetration, and subsequently, evolution in criminal justice system responses. Early research indicated there would be changes in the frequency and type of calls for service to law enforcement and other social service agencies, challenges for first responders and institutions to manage the pandemic, and the potential for drastic shifts in crime trends and incidents. From a conceptual perspective, stay-at-home orders might decrease certain forms of crime, such as residential burglary, as individuals who were remaining close to their homes and property were better able to serve as capable guardians. Conversely, intimate partner violence, alcohol consumption, and the use of illicit substances might have been expected to increase as individuals found themselves in prolonged contact with others while under tremendous duress. The criminal justice system had to consider what aspects of its operations had to be maintained (i.e., police response to calls for service), modified (i.e., parole and probation officials conducting community supervision appointments via video conference), or slowed/halted (i.e., stopping court activities, particularly events such as jury trials).
The COVID-19 response and impact exist within other drastic social movements, highlighted in particular by the death of George Floyd in May 2020. In the midst of a spreading pandemic, continued calls to justice echoed prior incidents occurring throughout the prior decade that questioned use police use of force, disparities within the criminal justice system, and overall responses to crime in society. Amidst pandemic policies and efforts of social distancing, protests erupted placing further strain on embattled public agencies but necessitated immediate response. The protest movement of the summer of 2020 complicates the ability of researchers to fully understand how COVID-19 influenced rates of crime, as well as how it shifted aspects of the operations of the justice system and the efficacy of those efforts.
Throughout 2020 and beyond, the spread of COVID-19 generated substantial social and legal policy change. This occurred in tandem with other reform efforts and demands that cast light on crime, criminal justice practices, and justice-related policies and legislation. This volume broadly considers both crime and criminal justice effects and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This book harnesses these considerations within crime and criminal justice, evaluating how these broad policies that set out to enhance public health may have impacted crime, how a global pandemic changed sentencing and supervision strategies, and how many of those within the criminal justice system – responders and supervised alike – faced change, strain, and possibilities of reform.
Crime Considerations
The policy and public health responses to the COVID-19 reached into virtually all aspects of society. These responses changed where and how people live, worked, and learned. They influenced how people interacted with family and loved ones, co-workers, and government service providers. Stay-at-home orders radically changed the ways in which citizens did (or did not) move through their geographic and social world. While some workers found the nature of their employment changed to a work-from-home arrangement, others found themselves forced to continue to physically show up for work, often while worrying about their health and the health of their family. Still others found themselves furloughed or unemployed as a result of the shuttering of employers. The multitude of events and policies that facilitated changes in behavioral patterns, household dynamics, and interpersonal relationships, in the midst of economic failures and heightened mental health strains, led to much fodder for criminologists.
Early speculations immediately considered how COVID-19 would impact criminal activity, with an expectation that shifts in guardianship, targets, strains, and lifestyles would connect to changes in crime patterns. Many scholars, drawing from neoclassical schools of thought, predicted the wide use of stay-at-home orders was likely to increase residential guardianship and change outside activities (and thereby decrease property crimes or opportunities for violence). This could both increase or decrease various types of crime. Effects of COVID-19 and behavior were likely to vary by crime type where greater time at home promoted opportunities for intimate partner violence or cybercrime whereas street crimes, such as burglary or robbery, may have been decreased by the reduction in population mobility through public spaces.
In addition to shifting patterns of vulnerability and guardianship, mobility restrictions that intended to limit the spread of COVID-19 changed interpersonal dynamics, introducing negative stimuli or weakened social bonds with isolation, quarantine, and spreading illness. Income and employment disruptions, health impacts, abrupt changes to daily life, and the uncertainty that came with the pandemic produced negative strain for many. As Bradbury-Jones and Isham note, the well versed United Kingdom verse of “Stay Home; Protect the National Health Service (NHS); Save Lives’” may not have come to fruition where lockdown measures facilitated greater contact between familial and romantic partners, thereby creating the possibility of more opportunity for intimate partner violence, child abuse, or elder abuse. Even more concerning, these instances of violence might not have generated the same scrutiny or consequence. For example, victims might not have been leaving their home for school, work, or other obligations, reducing the chance a friend, teacher, or co-worker might observe injuries and either report the matter or offer other interventions.
Social exposure and opportunities also changed as isolation from potentially negative peers could occur with stay-at-home orders. For example, youth who were no longer attending school in person and having unsupervised interactions with peers outside of school might have had less exposure to negative peer influences, which might have led to reductions in various types of delinquent behavior. However, as Buchanan and colleagues noted, despite efforts to divert individuals from confinement, opportunities for peer interaction may ultimately have increased and led to rises in delinquency.
Scholars immediately recognized the opportunity to study crime in the natural experimentation of the COVID-19 pandemic and its response. While much conceptual speculation occurred in regard to how the pandemic response might shift crime patterns and opportunities, the subsequent empirical evidence varied widely, with findings and conclusions being heavily dependent on timing, place, measurement, and operationalization. Part of the challenge in studying the effects of the pandemic response on crime emerges from the realization that mitigation strategies, such as stay-at-home orders or school closures, were not enacted and enforced equally in all places, and varied dramatically over time. In addition, not all criminal conduct has the same correlates and drivers, so the effects of public health and policy strategies would be expected to vary by offense type. Piquero and colleagues demonstrated this, illustrating trends prior to and after stay-at-home orders were implemented, and the volatile nature of calls for service and reporting to police. Mohler and colleagues effectively demonstrate this by comparing cities and types of crimes, where consistent takeaways of crime trends were difficult to untangle and had varied effects. However, some general patterns did emerge from this research literature.
Decreases in Crime
Some early studies of the pandemic’s effects on crime supported that at least some types of crimes decreased in the spring of 2020, with early evidence of widespread drops in drug crimes, larceny, residential burglaries, and many violent crimes, including sexual assault, simple assault, and homicide. Lopez and Rosenfeld extended this examination and substantiated the decline in property crimes, drug crimes, robbery, and homicide throughout 2020 and into 2021, though these patterns varied as the pandemic extended and stay-at-home orders fluctuated. While their findings modestly suggest that increased time spent at home (by large segments of the population) was tied to some reductions in violent crime, this does not tend to sustain over time (particularly as researchers looked into crime in 2021 and beyond) and varied by geography. Researchers have struggled to disentangle this geographic variation to better understand whether the inconsistency in observed crime declines was a function of public health policies (which placed diverse restrictions on population mobility) or was otherwise influenced by latent social, economic, cultural, and geographic drivers.
Increases in Crime
Broadly, much research demonstrates the theoretical expectation that COVID-19 policies and social changes would result in crime remaining stable or increasing in some cases. Despite social distancing and stay-at-home orders, Jeffrey Brantingham and colleagues suggested gang-related crimes neither increased nor decreased, but rather persisted through time. Others saw an evolution in the commission of crimes, such as the emergence of new fraud-related crimes both broadly and related to the pandemic or that crimes were committed geographically closer to home. As another example, while residential burglaries tended to decrease, Felson and colleagues suggested that burglary shifted to more commercial burglaries, a finding substantiated by others.

Descriere
More than two dozen contributors examine how the social, economic, cultural, legislative, and policy responses to the COVID-19 virus affected crime and justice in the United States.
