Abstract

Los estudios del crimen durante la pandemia analizan el impacto de las medidas de confinamiento y distanciamiento social sobre los indices delictivos en varias ciudades alrededor del mundo, incluyendo Mexico. Las investigaciones revelan reducciones significativas en el volumen y la distribucion de la frecuencia de delitos, pero los resultados difieren por tipo de delito y ciudad analizada. No obstante, son escasos los estudios sobre el impacto de la pandemia en los patrones espaciales delictivos. Con nueva informacion de las llamadas al 911 en la Ciudad de Mexico, esta investigacion analiza los reportes de disparos con estimadores locales de concentracion espacial. Los resultados muestran patrones diferenciados por colonias y una persistente concentracion espacial en la zona oriente de la ciudad. En contraste con la disminucion de delitos relacionados con armas de fuego, este hallazgo sugiere que las armas se utilizan en algunas zonas en actividades distintas a los delitos asociados a comportamientos racionales.
