Drug offence detection during the pandemic: A spatiotemporal study of drug markets

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2021, vol. 77, issue C

Abstract: Research on COVID-19 and crime has so far shown that most crime types declined, especially in the early months of the pandemic. Illicit drug offences were a notable exception, however few studies have considered changes at specific drug market locations. This study documents how key drug markets were affected during the lockdown.
