COVID-19 Impact on Crime in the Cayman Islands

Jan 1st 2020 – May 31st 2020

Introduction

This summary interim crime report aims to provide an overview of the crime statistics for the

first 5 months of 2020 from Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS). This date range has been

selected due to the unique conditions created by the Covid 19 pandemic and the subsequent

actions taken in response to the threats posed by Covid 19. The purpose is to provide

communities and the government with meaningful and accurate information to allow for

understanding and to assist in determining priorities for public safety so the Cayman Islands

remains a safe place to live, work and visit.

Covid Restrictions

The Covid pandemic has had a direct impact on the volumes and types of criminality on the

Cayman Islands. Covid restrictions were introduced on the Cayman Islands on the 23rd of March

2020, and at time of publication remain in place, albeit subject to a general easing of restrictions

over recent weeks. To fully understand the impact the Covid pandemic has had on crime, there

are key timeframes that require to be considered:

1. Total crime since the start of the year – January 1st – May 31st

2. Total crime outside of the Covid restrictions timeframe – January 1st – March 22nd

3. Total crime within the Covid restrictions timeframe – March 23rd – May 31st

Throughout this document, sections will be broken down in line with the above timeframes.

This document will not include Covid specific offences for breaches of hard curfew or tickets

issued for breaches of soft curfew. The document seeks to be a like for like comparison to 2019.

Data Collection and Interpretation

All crime statistics are taken from the RCIPS Records Management System and should be

interpreted with the following considerations:

Incidents or Calls for Service are recorded by RCIPS. An Incident could be any occurrence

in a single event, this includes unconfirmed crimes, suspicious activity, medical

emergencies, search and rescue, alarm calls and others. These incidents can be recorded

from the public calling 911, non-emergency calls to police stations, in person reports by

the public to officers or at police stations and officer initiated reporting during their tour

of duty.

A crime is defined as an illegal/reckless act or activity for which a person can be punished

by law. While an incident is any single event which is reported/recorded by RCIPS. Not all

incidents are crimes.

Statistical data in this document pertaining to crime data is based on substantiated

primary crimes only1, if there is insufficient evidence to confirm a crime occurred it

remains an incident.

Total Recorded Crime has been grouped into appropriate categories based on the type of

crimes, the key categories are: Violence against the Person, Sexual Offences, Drug Crime,

Firearms Crime, Acquisitive Crime, Public Order and Other Crime.

Incidents/Calls for Service

1. 1st of January 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 15172 incidents/calls for service. This

is an increase of 661 (+4.5%) compared to the same period in 2019.

2. 1st of January 2020 – 22nd March 2020 there were 8286 incidents/calls for service. This is

an increase of 298 (+3.7%) compared to the same period for 2019.

3. 23rd of March 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 6886 incidents/call for service. This is

an increase of 360 (+5.5%) compared to the same period for 2019.

Key Finding - The volume of incidents/calls for service has increased by 5.5% over the Covid

period compared to same period in 2019.

The main changes in the types of incidents/calls for services are shown in the table below2:

1 Only primary crime/offences are included cumulative statistical data as per UK Home Office Counting Rules. The primary offence recorded is always the more serious under the law, any secondary offence are not included in cumulative statistics. 2 There are over 200 incident types of calls for service recorded in 2020 so far as a results the Top 15 have been includes as they make up 64% of all incident types of calls for service.

The key changes in incidents/calls for service over the course of 2020, compared to the same

period in 2019, show the impact from Covid restrictions:

Incidents/calls for service specifically related to crime for example Theft have reduced

substantially.

Incidents/calls for service specifically related to Covid are included in 2020 where there were

no such calls in 2019.

There has also been a substantial increase in the number of incidents/calls for service related

to Public/Environment issues.

A dip sample of Public/Environment incidents/calls for service in 2020, showed that they were

largely related to Covid albeit indirectly:

The public called the police when they are unable to obtain services to resolve concerns,

for example a bees nest or rubble on the road.

The public called the police because in a significant number of cases they were confined

to their homes for long periods and were very sensitive to activity in and around their

property. For example, persons using communal equipment in a strata to obtain fruit from

the trees.

Total Recorded Crime

It should be noted that approximately 10% of incidents/calls for service reported to RCIPS in 2020

have been recorded as crimes.

1. 1st of January 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 1588 crimes recorded in the Cayman

Islands. This is a reduction of 214 (-11.9%) compared to the same period in 2019.

2. 1st of January 2020 – 22nd March 2020 there were 986 crimes recorded in the Cayman

Islands. This is an increase of 128 (+14.5%) compared to the same period in 2019.

3. 23rd of March 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 602 crimes recorded in the Cayman

Islands. This is a reduction of 290 (-30.9%) compared to the same period in 2019.

Key Findings – In the first 3 months of 2020 there were substantial increases in total recorded

crime compared to the same period for 2019. Since Covid restrictions were introduced total

recorded crime has reduced by a nearly a third.

It is inferred that without the unique conditions associated with Covid, overall crime would

have increased to date in 2020 compared to 2019.

Due to the restrictions as part of the response to Covid, the opportunities for offenders to

commit crime have been reduced.

2019.

Sexual Crimes

1. 1st of January 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 34 sexual crimes recorded, compared

6

38 for the same period in 2019. This equates to a reduction of 14 (-37%).

Key Findings – Drug crimes were increasing substantially at the start of the year but over the

Covid period have then noticeably reduced. During the Covid period drug crimes related to

Consumption/Possession of Ganja and Cocaine have reduced substantially. It is inferred that

the restrictions on movement outside of the home, coupled with the closure of the night time

economy have resulted in less visible signs of drug consumption.

Acquisitive Crime (Burglary, Criminal Trespass, Robbery and Theft)

1. 1st of January 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 401 acquisitive crimes recorded,

compared to 268 for the same period in 2019. Levels of acquisitive crime for the first 3

months of 2020 were exactly the same as the same period for 2019.

compared to the same period in 2019. Covid restrictions have had a considerable impact on

the volume of acquisitive crime, with volumes reducing by 56% compared to same period in

2019.

It is inferred that the volume of acquisitive crimes would have remained at similar levels to

2019 had it not been for the Covid restrictions.

Public Order

1. 1st of January 2020 – 31st of May 2020 there were 389 public order crimes recorded,

compared to 360 for the same period in 2019. This equates to an increase of 29 (+8%).

2. 1st of January 2020 – 22nd March 2020 there were 235 public order crimes recorded,

compared to 202 for the same period in 2019. This equates to an increase of 33 (+16%).

Key Findings – During the first 3 months of 2020 levels of public order crime increased

noticeably by 17% compared to the same period for 2019. Covid restrictions have had a minor

impact on the levels of public order crime and it remains 8% higher in 2020 compared to 2019.

The key areas of Public Order crime where there have been increases in 2020 are Intentional

Harassment (+8), Harassment Alarm or Distress (+11) and Threat to Kill, Cause Serious Harm or

7




Damage Property (+26). This is inferred to be local disputes between neighbours exacerbated

by the Covid restrictions. At the same time there has been a marked reduction in Drunk and

Disorderly Persons (-10) linked to the shutdown of the night time economy over the Covid

period.
