RUIZ-PEREZ, José Ignacio  and  APARICIO BARRERA, Juan. Regional factors associated with non-compliance of coexistence norms in Colombia in times of Covid-19. Rev. logos cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.1, pp.28-40.  Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 2145-594X.  https://doi.org/10.22335/rlct.v14i1.1504.

The purpose of this work was to know the relationships between the non-compliance figures of seven restrictions imposed by social isolation due to Covid-19 (Behaviours Contrary to Coexistence, BCC) between March 16 and May 1, 2020, with the economic indicators of criminality, social network between 2015 and 2018, and contagions in 2020 in all 32 departments of Colombia and Bogota (n = 33). The outcome was: a) a direct correlation between total rates of BCC and regional rates of crime against property, b) direct relations between more infringements by agglomerations and higher rate of accumulated infections by Covid-19, c) a greater negative emotional climate and a lo-wer satisfaction with the police was associated with more infringements by agglomerations and the non-use of masks, d) a lower collective efficacy was associated with more violations due to unauthorized alcohol consumption, e) a greater communal coping was associated with fewer offenses due to alcohol consumption. Although the size of the correlations was moderate, the evidence supports the “broken window” and social disorganization theories.

Keywords : Isolation restrictions; social disorganization; collective efficacy; crime; Covid-19.
