The spread of the coronavirus has led to containment policies in many places,
with concomitant shifts in routine activities. Major declines in crime have been
reported as a result. However, those declines depend on crime type and may differ
by parts of a city and land uses. This paper examines burglary in Detroit,
Michigan during the month of March, 2020, a period of considerable change in
routine activities. We examine 879 block groups, separating those dominated by
residential land use from those with more mixed land use. We divide the month
into three periods: pre-containment, transition period, and post-containment.
Burglaries increase in block groups with mixed land use, but not blocks dominated
by residential land use. The impact of containment policies on burglary clarifies
after taking land use into account.
