    There is a vast literature evaluating the empirical association between stay-at-home policies and crime dur‑ ing the COVID-19 pandemic. However, these academic eforts have primarily focused on the efects within specifc cities or regions rather than adopting a cross-national comparative approach. Moreover, this body of literature not only generally lacks causal estimates but also has overlooked possible heterogeneities across diferent lev‑ els of stringency in mobility restrictions. This paper exploits the spatial and temporal variation of government responses to the pandemic in 45 cities across fve continents to identify the causal impact of strict lockdown policies on the number of ofenses reported to local police. We fnd that cities that implemented strict lockdowns expe‑ rienced larger declines in some crime types (robbery, burglary, vehicle theft) but not others (assault, theft, homi‑ cide). This decline in crime rates attributed to more stringent policy responses represents only a small proportion of the efects documented in the literature.

    Therapeutic jurisprudence and the desistance paradigm: Theoretical and practical convergences for social reintegration
    (2022) Droppelmann, Catalina; Valdes-Riesco, Amalia; Villagra, Carolina
    This paper discusses in theoretical and practical terms how the Desistance Paradigm offers a powerful and underexplored potential alliance with Therapeutic Jurisprudence, especially regarding the social reintegration of those who break the law. As such, this paper presents a description of the Therapeutic Justice and Desistance Paradigm, along with their main findings and theoretical scope, to then present a discussion of how these two approaches share a common horizon (which are not only limited to practices and techniques, but also to legal structures and procedures). Finally, it concludes with some future challenges for which the convergence of these two paradigms can offer fruitful developments within the criminal justice system.
