Regional factors associated with non-compliance of coexistence norms in Colombia in times of Covid-19

ABSTRACT

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 net-work between 2015 and 2018, and contagions in 2020 in all 32 departments of Colombia and Bo-gota (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.
