“…During the pandemic, the public's perceptions of what type of policing was appropriate was bought into focus. The pandemic, its social-distancing measures and the stay at home orders collided with a period of social unrest and with the violence that was directed towards the police during protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis (Wolff et al, 2022). Research undertaken since the 2020–2021 COVID-19 pandemic found that there had been a significant increase in violent offending, domestic assaults (Neilson et al, 2022) and crime more generally (Hou et al, 2022; Meyer et al, 2022).…”

This research discussed in this article examined assaults on police officers in England and Wales and in New Zealand between 2015 and 2022. Although different sources of data were used to examine the number of assaults on police officers in the three countries, it was found that the number of assaults on police officers in England and Wales and in New Zealand increased during this period. England and Wales experienced a 56% increase in the number of assaults on police officers, while the New Zealand Police experienced a 41% increase. Using the population of each country as a basis there was an increase in the number of assaults of more than 16% in New Zealand and more than 63% in England and Wales. The main limitation of the research was that the information that was available lacked detail, and this would limit the development of policy to minimize the threat to police officers of being assaulted.

Early into the COVID-19 pandemic, Miller & Blumstein (2020) outlined a theoretical research program (TRP) oriented around themes of contagion control and containment, legal amnesty, system leniency, nonenforcement, and tele-justice. Here, two and a half years later, these lingering themes are revisited to advocate for empirical research informing criminal justice system reform. The pandemic created rare natural experiment research conditions that enable unique and potentially valuable insights on necessitated innovations that may indicate future justice practices and policies. Given the sweeping effects of the shutdown, examples are numerous ranging from staffing analyses to estimate agencies' personnel needs to ensure that basic public safety functions can be met after early retirements and resignations from virus risk and anti-police sentiment, the use of virtual communication in various legal proceedings at arrest, incarceration, and release junctures, and, especially, the risks versus benefits of early release. In addition to better identifying who should be jailed pre-trial, prioritization of calls for service, triaging of court cases, and hygiene and sanitation issues within facilities are other important examples central to a COVID and crime TRP. Attending research could demonstrate the utility of normative operations and identify shortfalls to be addressed during anomic conditions prior to another shutdown or similar event and present, through comparison of innovative and traditional derived outcomes, system reform and improvement opportunities. By seizing upon rare data made possible by natural experimental COVID generated conditions, researchers can meaningfully investigate the ongoing applicability of justice system adaptations mandated by the pandemic in terms of effectiveness and efficiency toward the interrelated goals of evidence-based practice discovery and justice reform.
