目的：调查2019冠状病毒病大流行对加拿大温哥华各种犯罪类型（财产、暴力和恶作剧）频率的影响。方法：使用中断时间序列技术在城市层面上分析代表住宅入室盗窃、商业入室盗窃、车辆盗窃、车辆盗窃、盗窃、暴力和恶作剧的犯罪数据。结果：虽然COVID-19并未对所有犯罪类型产生影响，但在许多案件中已经发现了统计上的重大变化。根据犯罪类型的不同，频率变化的幅度和方向也不同。有人认为，（强制的）社会限制、活动模式的转变和机会结构是造成这些结果的原因。结论：我们发现，在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，特定犯罪类型的频率发生了变化。这对刑事司法和社会服务从业人员在处理特殊事件时非常重要。

Depending on the crime type, the magnitude and direction of the change in frequency varies. It is argued that (mandated) social restrictions, shifted activity patterns and opportunity structures which are responsible for these findings.Conclusions: We find support for changes in the frequency of particular crime types during the COVID-19 pandemic.
