于二零二零年三月，英国因新型冠状病毒疫情蔓延而实施封城。正当合法工作场所作出改变，使其雇员能够在家工作时，非法毒品贸易也作出了替代安排，调整其供应模式，以确保业务的连续性。基于对46名从业者的定性访谈，本文评估了一线专业人员如何体验和感知新冠肺炎对英国儿童犯罪剥削和县线毒品供应的影响。在整个文件中，我们强调了对县线供应模式的适应，锁定限制对针对县线的检测和执法活动的影响，以及保护儿童和青少年免受犯罪剥削的努力。我们的参与者普遍认为，大流行导致了向县线的转移，这反映了药物供应模式的持续演变，以及由于COVID-19限制而引起的理解或关注的变化，而不是模式本身的完全重建。从业人员认为，新冠肺炎已经并将继续对一些年轻人容易受到剥削、警察和一线从业人员应对县界线和儿童犯罪剥削的方式以及非法药物的运输和销售方式产生重大影响。
In March 2020, the UK was placed in lockdown following the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Just as legitimate workplaces made changes to enable their employees to work from home, the illicit drugs trade also made alternative arrangements, adapting its supply models to ensure continuity of operations. Based upon qualitative interviews with 46 practitioners, this paper assesses how front-line professionals have experienced and perceived the impact of Covid-19 on child criminal exploitation and County Lines drug supply in the UK. Throughout the paper, we highlight perceived adaptations to the County Lines supply model, the impact of lockdown restrictions on detection and law enforcement activities aimed at County Lines, and on efforts to safeguard children and young people from criminal exploitation. Our participants generally believed that the pandemic had induced shifts to County Lines that reflected an ongoing evolution of the drug supply model and changes in understanding or attention because of Covid-19 restrictions, rather than a complete reconstitution of the model itself. Practitioners perceived that Covid-19 has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on some young people’s vulnerability to exploitation, on the way in which police and frontline practitioners respond to County Lines and child criminal exploitation, and on the way illegal drugs are being moved and sold.
