    "abstract": "The paper presents an introductory reflection on the COVID-19 epidemic, recorded crime and police work in the field of crime investigation, especially in the first wave of the epidemic, in the spring of 2020 in Slovenia compared to the previous year. First, an analysis of recorded crime for the first nine months (January-September) of 2019 and 2020 is performed, followed by comparing crime rates and patterns in the same period of the first wave of the epidemic from March to May 2020. About the same analysis of recorded crime was conducted for the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana. Governmental measures for curbing the epidemic are also presented. The comparisons show that most recorded crimes decreased in Slovenia during the first wave of the epidemic in 2020 and the first nine months of 2020. Similar patterns were found out in the capital city. We also present the opinions of the heads of criminal investigation sectors at the Criminal Police Directorate on the incidence, the nature of criminal offences during the epidemic, and the criminal police responses. The findings indicate the need for additional victimization and self-reporting studies of delinquency, which could be a qualitative supplement to the official statistical data on recorded crime during the COVID-19 epidemic in Slovenia.",
