Abstract

COVID-19 impacts the daily lives of millions of people. This radical change in our daily activities affected many aspects of life, but acted as well as a natural experiment for research into the spatial distribution of 911 calls. We analyse the impact of the COVID-19 measures on the spatial pattern of police interventions. Crime is not uniformly distributed across street segments, but how does COVID-19 affect these spatial patterns? To this end, Gini coefficients are calculated and a proportion differences spatial point pattern test is applied to compare the similarity of the patterns of incidents before, during, and after the first lockdown in Antwerp, Belgium. With only essential mobility being allowed, the emergency call pattern has not significantly changed before, during or after this lockdown, however, a qualitative shift in police officer's daily work may have had an effect on the daily operation of the Antwerp police force.

因 COVID-19 大流行而采取的严格措施对警察需求空间模式的影响:安特卫普(比利时)案例研究。
COVID-19 影响着数百万人的日常生活。我们日常活动中发生的这一根本性变化影响了生活的许多方面,但同时也为 911 报警的空间分布研究提供了一个自然实验。我们分析了 COVID-19 措施对警方干预空间模式的影响。犯罪在各街道的分布并不均匀,但 COVID-19 如何影响这些空间模式?为此,我们计算了基尼系数,并采用比例差异空间点模式检验来比较比利时安特卫普首次封锁之前、期间和之后事件模式的相似性。由于只允许必要的人员流动,在这次封锁之前、期间和之后,紧急呼叫模式都没有发生重大变化,然而,警察日常工作的质变可能对安特卫普警队的日常运作产生了影响。
