The Impact of the Pandemic on Criminal Intelligence

Abstract

The global pandemic, COVID 19 and its mutations have a significant impact on the structure of crime and law enforcement, and it will have a serious impact in the near future, on the branch of the criminal service. In this article I examine the impact of a pandemic on global and domestic crime and how resilient law enforcement has been to respond to these challenges.I examine and present the changes in the structure of crime as a result of the pandemic, relying on international law enforcement professional sources. I established the trends and data on domestic crime on the basis of interviews and the analysis of statistical data. In my research I have found that there have been changes in the qualitative and quantitative structure of crime due to the forced effects of the pandemic on society and I made suggestions for more effective law enforcement and intelligence activities.
