摘要

由于公众遵守新冠肺炎限制、个人日常活动的变化以及新冠肺炎造成的健康威胁，新冠肺炎可能会影响警察活动（即交通拦截、逮捕和使用武力）。本研究的目的是研究新冠肺炎对佛蒙特州伯灵顿市警察活动的影响以及这些活动的趋势。衡量逮捕、交通拦截和使用武力的数据来自伯灵顿警察局网站，涵盖2018年12月10日至2021年6月14日期间。然后，创建了逮捕率、使用武力率和交通堵塞率的每日时间序列数据（N = 918；新冠肺炎前459天和新冠肺炎期间459天）。结果显示，新冠肺炎在统计上显著增加了交通拦截和逮捕，但在新冠肺炎限制措施实施后的第二天没有使用武力，然后随着时间的推移保持稳定。然而，在新冠肺炎之前和期间，逮捕、交通拦截和使用武力的趋势没有发生重大变化。新冠肺炎对交通拦截和逮捕产生了重大的直接和持久影响，但对使用武力没有影响。

The Effect of COVID-19 on Police Activities: Traffic Stops, Arrests, and Use of Force

COVID-19 may affect police activities (i.e., traffic stops, arrests, and use of force) due to public compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, changes in individuals’ daily activities, and health threats posed by COVID-19. The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of COVID-19 on police activities and the trends in these activities in Burlington, Vermont. The data that measured arrests, traffic stops, and use of force were obtained from the Burlington Police Department website and covered the period from December 10, 2018 through June 14, 2021. Then, the daily time-series data for arrest rate, use of force rate, and traffic stop rate were created (N = 918; 459 days pre-COVID-19 and 459 days during COVID-19). The results showed that COVID-19 statistically significantly increased traffic stops and arrests, but not use of force on the day immediately following the implementation of the COVID-19 restrictions and then remained stable over time. However, no significant change was detected in the trends of arrests, traffic stops, and use of force before and during the COVID-19 period. COVID-19 had a significant immediate and lasting effect on traffic stops and arrests, but not use of force.
