    "abstract": "During the COVID-19 health crisis there are challenges posed also for law enforcement. It is important not to neglect the side of the pandemic affecting the relationship between society and the state, as the latter is exercising its power through law enforcement agencies, responsible for enforcing COVID-19 measures and controlling possible violations. The proposed presentation will highlight the following implications : i. The construction of «corona-crimes» differing from the ordinary criminality police is trained and accustomed to counter, resulting also in cases of internal conflict and confusion for police officers, ii. Corona measures affecting the perceptions of citizens regarding the role of the police in democratic states: new roles attributed and/or old stereotypes re-emerging ii. Police officers’ health in danger by deliberate attempts of virus transmission (e.g. spread of bodily fluids against policemen alerts) or during arrest conditions of proximity with suspects, iv. Racial and other discrimination dangers during Covid-19 policing (e.g. Roma, alternative characteristics groups of population), v. Cases of excessive use of violence and control mechanisms for accountability. \r\nThe proposed presentation will use also results, info, etc from the research the presenter has been carrying out as member of the «COVID-19 and Viral Violence Working Group» (National Science Foundation funded Social Science Extreme Events Research-SSEER Network& CONVERGE/Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, https://converge.colorado.edu/resources/covid-19/working-groups/issues-impacts-recovery/covid-19-and-viral-violence). This COVID-19 Working Group effort was supported by the National Science Foundation-funded Social Science Extreme Events Research (SSEER) network and the CONVERGE facility at the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder (NSF Award #1841338).
