Abstract

Most U.S. states issued stay-at-home orders (SAHOs) to limit the spread of COVID-19 in 2020. These orders required people to remain in their residences except when undertaking essential activities. While SAHOs are a powerful public health tool against infectious diseases, they can have significant social and economic consequences. Grounded in general strain and routine activities theories and using interrupted time series analyses, this study assesses the effects of SAHOs on homicide rates in 10 U.S. cities. Substantive results suggest SAHOs were associated with changes in homicide rates in theoretically identifiable ways.

评估与covid -19相关的居家令对美国选定城市凶杀率的影响

2020年，美国大多数州都发布了居家令(SAHOs)，以限制COVID-19的传播。这些命令要求人们留在自己的住所，除非进行必要的活动。虽然saho是对抗传染病的有力公共卫生工具，但它们可能产生重大的社会和经济后果。基于一般压力和日常活动理论，并使用中断时间序列分析，本研究评估了saho对美国10个城市凶杀率的影响。实质性结果表明，SAHOs与凶杀率的变化以理论上可识别的方式相关。
