cord-254228-g2mjj7my	Felson, Marcus	Routine activity effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on burglary in Detroit, March, 2020	2020-06-23		.txt	text/plain	3976	240	62	This paper examines burglary in Detroit, Michigan during the month of March, 2020, a period of considerable change in routine activities. The empirical task of the current research is to compare burglary changes in different zones of Detroit in response to the pandemic changes in routine activities. That finding raises an ancillary question: whether the dramatic shifts in routine activities resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic affect burglary rates differently in predominantly residential zones as opposed to zones with mixed residential and commercial land uses. In other words, we expect the changes in routine activities engendered by the pandemic to produce burglary increases in some parts of a city even while burglary declines overall. The changes in routine activities in light of the pandemic tell us to look for burglary increases mainly in urban areas not dominated by residences. 1 We infer that a major shift in routine activities resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic influences the land use-crime relationship in Detroit.	./cache/cord-254228-g2mjj7my.txt	./txt/cord-254228-g2mjj7my.txt
