Violent behavior and the COVID-19 lockdowns: a nationwide register-based study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that physical violence between people decreases during lockdown period compared to comparable control periods. The secondary aims were to explore the effect of gender and alcohol consumption on violence during lockdown. The research method was regression analysis of national records of hospitalizations secondary to an assault. Assault rates in two periods, defined as state of emergency, were compared to baseline data for 2017-2020, controlling for seasonal fluctuations. To validate findings on independent data, differences between lockdown and baseline data in police violent crime records between 2017 and 2021 were examined using one-way ANOVA. The rates of hospitalizations secondary to an assault decreased significantly during the lockdown, with the decline in assault rates being more pronounced for males than females and weakened for those with a history of alcohol abuse. The violent crime rate decreased by 19% during lockouts compared to pre-pandemic baseline. Therefore, physical interpersonal violence decreased during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Emerging evidence suggests an increased risk of alcohol use and intoxication during these periods.
