The Covid pandemic brought a flood of papers assessing how Covid affected crime. This is an important topic worthy of the highest quality research we can offer. And yet criminology did what it does best: disappoint. Many of these papers were characteristic of what I consider the greatest rot in criminology: an acceptance of doing the least possible work for a paper. These papers looked at only a single city; in some cases, the same authors wrote multiple papers on that city.
