摘要

为控制COVID-19大流行，印度政府于2020年3月24日在全国范围内实施封锁。我们研究了封锁对针对女性犯罪的影响。我们利用来自印度457个地区的5个月(封锁前、封锁期间和封锁后)的区级面板数据，研究了COVID-19隔离区和封锁对针对妇女犯罪的相互作用。结果表明，封锁对不同隔离区犯罪的影响是不同的。与疫情最严重的地区相比，疫情较轻的地区由于实施封锁，针对妇女的犯罪下降幅度更大。JEL代码:C33, J16, J78

Can COVID-19 Lockdown Reduce Crimes Against Women? A District- Level Analysis from India

In response to controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian government implemented a nationwide lockdown on 24 March 2020. We study the effect of lockdown on crimes against women. Using district-level panel data from 457 districts in India for five months (before, during and post-lockdown), we examine the interaction effect of COVID-19 containment zones and lockdown on crimes against women. Results suggest a differential impact of the lockdown on crime across different containment zones. Compared to the most COVID-19 affected zone, the less affected zones show a larger fall in crimes against women due to the imposition of a lockdown. JEL Codes: C33, J16, J78
