Domestic violence‍ and commercial theft increasing - some other crimes decreasing

 

Domestic violence incidents have increased‍ dramatically since COVID-19 self-isolation. UK reports a seven-fold increase in calls to the Refuge help-line and a doubling of the weekly rate of death from domestic violence. Similar findings are reported across the world.

  

Advice from the WHO on addressing domestic violence is available here and more advice is available here.  In Australia, if you, or someone you know, is impacted by sexual assault, domestic or family violence, government advice is to call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit 1800RESPECT.org.au.

 

Break-ins and thefts from closed businesses, factories, warehouses and shops have increased. In parallel, there has been increased theft of copper and batteries and other materials that can be quickly resold without identification or in the informal economy.

 

At the extreme end of this are reports of sporadic  looting incidents across the US, and in Mexico, Canada, Italy, UK, Ireland, France and South Africa that indicate temporary breakdown in Law and Order.

 

Across the world, other forms of crime appear to have reduced. This is commonly regarded as being due to the lack of people on the streets. Alternatively, it may be a change in focus by Police to concentrate only on serious crime and maintaining law and order.
