Domestic Violence during the Pandemic 

The novel coronavirus affected every facet of life in the United States and abroad. It is no surprise, then, to learn that the pandemic and in particular its associated lockdowns aimed at slowing the spread of the virus has had unique and varying effects on criminal activity. Since the lockdowns were instituted in the first quarter of 2020, continuing with the easing of restrictions and the re-opening of society, criminologists have cataloged these changes. This presentation will present the latest findings on changes in criminal activity, with a specific focus on domestic violence in the US and abroad, where research has documented a sizable increase, especially during lockdown periods. Dr. Piquero will discuss this line of work, in line with his studies in Dallas, Miami, Guatemala, and his systematic review that was featured in the New York Times, CNN, FOX, People, and other media outlets.

Learning Objectives:
Participant will be able to:

Learn about the changes in criminal activity, especially domestic violence, during the coronavirus pandemic and associated lockdowns.
