Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Crime in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The Covid-19 pandemic affected all areas of social life, including crime. All people, including criminals, had to adapt to the new situation. The pandemic brought a decline in traditional crime, but at the same time enabled the emergence of new branches of crime. Crime has moved from the street scene to the internet and social networking environment. The aim of the paper is to use data to describe and justify the changes that have occurred in the field of crime in the Czech Republic. The hypothesis that the pandemic leads to a decrease in crime is verified on Czech data. The pandemic also affected the economic area in individual countries, especially macroeconomic variables, and caused a global recession. Manifestations of the recession include rising inflation, rising unemployment and a decline in real gross domestic product. The article also examines the impact of these three main macroeconomic variables on crime. For this purpose, three hypotheses are formulated and then their validity is verified on monthly data from the period January 2015 - April 2021 using regression analysis.
