Researching crime during a pandemic

New

The worldwide emergency measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic have a huge impact on the fabric of social life across the world. This includes carious manifestations of crime including street crime, hate crimes, domestic violence, and organised crime. This seminar will present an overview of the many critical issues that social scientists may be interested in, and will introduce students to some empirical studies that are currently ongoing. It will provide an opportunity to discuss social science research ideas, and challenges, linked to the COVID-19 crisis.
