New research by Professor Manuel Eisner, Director of the Violence Research Centre, and members of Utrecht University have just published in this article: 'A global analysis of the impact of COVID-19 stay-at-home restrictions on crime'.  This research shows that crime rates in cities across the world were dramatically reduced during the COVID 19 lock downs.

 

A summary of this research, written by the University of Cambridge is available to read here: https://cam.ac.uk/stories/COVIDcrime
