Abstract

Namen diplomskega dela je bil preveriti spremembe in stopnje različnih vrst kriminalitete v času pandemije covida-19. Za raziskavo je bila uporabljena metoda analize, s katero smo proučevali razpoložljive študije in analize raziskovalcev po svetu s področja kriminalitete. Raziskava je pokazala, da se je kriminaliteta v času pandemije spremenila, kar je posledica zapiranja javnega življenja in odloka, da ljudje ostajajo doma. Ugotovljen je bil upad vlomov in tatvin, kar predstavlja nepričakovano dobrobit za družbo, nasprotno pa so se povečale druge oblike kaznivih dejanj. Večji porast kaže statistika umorov, predvsem žensk, ki so v času pandemije prisiljene živeti v izolaciji, skupaj s svojim nasilnim partnerjem. Tudi Slovenija beleži krvavo statistiko umorov v času pandemije. Prav tako je zaradi izolacije porastlo nasilje v družinah, ki se nanaša na vsa ogrožajoča dejanja. Dogaja se za zaprtimi vrati, zato nasilja žrtve ne uspejo prijaviti. Gre za kazniva dejanja, ki so za družbo najbolj škodljiva in finančno obremenjujoča za državo. Zaradi povečanja splošne rabe interneta ter dela in šolanja od doma, je v porastu spletni in kibernetski kriminaliteti. Največ zlorab je bilo povezanih z vdorom v programsko opremo. Najbolj ranljiva skupina za spletne prevare so starejši, ki nimajo dovolj tehničnih znanj. Analiza je razkrila nekatere vrzeli pri prepoznavanju in ugotavljanju kriminalitete, zato so uradne statistike nezanesljive in ne kažejo dejanske slike. Raziskave kriminalitete so se omejile zgolj na večja mesta, ne pa tudi na podeželje. Prav tako ženske, otroci in starejši iz najrazličnejših razlogov ne prijavljajo nasilja, kar izkrivlja sliko o dejanskem stanju. Obseg in narava kriminalitete v času pandemije covida-19 lahko postaneta pomembni temi za preprečevanja kriminalitete v primeru podobnih kriznih razmer v prihodnosti.

Secondary title:	Review of research on changing the crime rate during the covid-19 pandemic
Secondary abstract:	The objective of the present thesis was to provide an overview of the changes and the degree of different types of criminalities during the covid-19 pandemic. A meta-analysis of all the available studies from across the world relating to criminality was conducted. The research highlighted that during the pandemic criminality changed as a result of reduced public lifestyle and people having to stay indoors. Specifically, lower number of thefts and burglaries was noted as a surprising benefit for society. Conversely, an increase in other types of criminal behavior were noted, such as increased homicide rate among women, who were forced to stay at home with their violent partners during the pandemic. This was also the case for Slovenia. Furthermore, the pandemic also resulted in the increase of other types of domestic violence. These events oftentimes go unreported, however, they present a significant social and financial burden for the country. Cybercrime, such as software hacking, also exhibited a rise due to home schooling and overall higher internet usage. The elderly, lacking sufficient technical knowledge, were the most likely victims. The present meta-analysis exposed some of the shortcomings of the current criminality identification approaches, leading to unreliable data. The available research focused primarily on larger cities, disregarding rural areas. Furthermore, children, women and elderly oftentimes do not report violence, leading to falsely lower rates in the data. In conclusion, the degree and nature of criminality during the covid-19 pandemic could be beneficial for future prevention in case of similar crises.
