Despite some claims that the surge in crime is due to the pandemic, crime rates are increasing only for a few specific categories—namely homicides and shootings—while property crimes and robberies mostly continue to fall. Historically there is no link between short periods of economic disruption and murder rates.

The current surge in homicide is not occurring in most other countries and is only present in certain parts of the United States among certain populations.
