Resumo: | The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of social distancing measures on the behavior of criminality in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais – Brazil, especially the one related to property crimes (theft, robbery and extortion). The criminal statistics for the period from March 18 to July 25, 2020 (the period of social distancing decreed by the Municipality of Belo Horizonte) were compared with the 2019 records. The flexibilization of social distancing measures period was also scrutinized, 25th of July to 24th of September. As a parameter of community mobility, data provided by Google® were used. The results indicate a lower number of crimes, with an average reduction of 34% between 2019 and 2020, 36% during the social distancing period; and 25% during the flexibilization of restrictive measures. The temporal distribution of events follows the pattern of the period without social distancing, both by day of the week and by time period. There was also a reduction in community mobility in places of commerce (retail), leisure and parks, concomitant with the reduction in crime. The spatial distribution of events maintains the same spatial pattern of the period without social distancing, being influenced by crime attractors, according to land use and occupation. There was a correlation between the concentration of certain urban equipment and the concentration of crimes in both periods. The influence of social mobility on places of commerce/leisure and parks corroborates Routine Activities and Crime Pattern theories, as well as the distribution of facilities that make up the urban landscape. |

Para tanto, comparou-se as estatísticas criminais do período de 18 de março a 25 de julho de 2020 (período de distanciamento social decretado pela Prefeitura Municipal de Belo Horizonte) com o mesmo período no ano de 2019. Verificou-se ainda o período do início da flexibilização do distanciamento, ocorrido entre os dias 25 de julho e 24 de setembro. Como parâmetro de mobilidade comunitária utilizou-se dados disponibilizados pelo Google®. Os resultados indicam que houve menor quantidade absoluta de crimes, com redução média de 34%, sendo 36% no período de distanciamento e 25% de flexibilização. A distribuição temporal dos eventos acompanha o padrão do período sem distanciamento social, tanto por dia da semana, quanto por faixa horária. Registrou-se, ainda, a redução da mobilidade comunitária em locais de comércio (varejo), lazer e parques concomitantes com a redução criminal, corroborando a abordagem das atividades de rotina. A distribuição espacial dos eventos mantém o mesmo padrão espacial do período sem distanciamento, influenciado pelos atratores de crimes, conforme uso e ocupação do solo. Houve correlação dos locais (equipamentos urbanos) com a concentração de crimes em ambos os períodos. A influência da mobilidade social para locais de comércio/lazer e parques corroboram com a Teoria das Atividades Rotineiras e Teoria do Padrão do Crime, bem como da distribuição de facilities que conformam a paisagem urbana.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2022-09-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/6436310.14393/SN-v34-2022-64363Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 34 No. 1 (2022): Sociedade & Natureza; v. 34 n. 1 (2022): 1982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/64363/34623https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/64363/34624Copyright (c) 2021 ANTONIO HOT PEREIRA DE FARIA, Alexandre Magno Alves Diniz, Diego Filipe Cordeiro Alveshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFARIA, ANTONIO HOT PEREIRA DEDiniz, Alexandre Magno AlvesAlves, Diego Filipe Cordeiro2023-04-06T20:32:29Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/64363Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2023-04-06T20:32:29Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
