The pandemic as a criminological experiment
COVID-19 caused serious personal and societal damage. It also created, however, a unique natural experiment. How did the pandemic affect crime levels? In this article, we analyse unique empirical data for the Netherlands, covering January 2016–March 2021, to assess if and how crime patterns changed during the first 12 months of COVID-19-related measures. Domestic violence, which was expected to rise, did not increase, nor did distraction burglary…

Based on a theoretical and empirical exploration of 30 cases from the fifth data sweep…

Second, we analyse documentation and interviews relating to all 89 Dutch criminal investigations in 20…
