Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis is changing the shape of crime. Drawing on crime science, this research will inform evidence-based policy and practice. we will anticipate crime effects of prolonged, graduated or cyclical exit strategies. We will use (1) national police data, (2) detailed data from three police partners, (3) fraud and ecrime data from industry, and (4) sources from other agencies such as Childline (for unreported crime).
