We study the emergence of new forms of law violations in Latin America during the coronavirus pandemic. Based on data from online news articles, we construct a typology of “new” crimes: (1) hate or fear crimes against health workers and hospitals; (2) illegal denials of public mobility out of fear of infection; (3) looting and other traditional crimes justified by the pandemic; and (4) violations of pandemic regulations. Studies of crime during the pandemic have focused on traditional crime and have been based on rational choice theory and a routine activities approach. We argue that in order to understand the recent crime trends in Latin America, these must be accompanied by other theories of crime, together with a better understanding of the role of the State. Our typology can be a starting point for discussions and further research on the complex relationship between criminal behavior and policy responses in pandemics.

我们研究了在冠状病毒大流行期间拉丁美洲出现的新形式的违法行为。基于网络新闻文章的数据，我们构建了一个“新”犯罪类型：（1）针对卫生工作者和医院的仇恨或恐惧犯罪；(2) 因害怕感染而非法拒绝公共交通；(3) 以疫情为借口的抢劫等传统犯罪；（四）违反防疫规定的。大流行期间的犯罪研究侧重于传统犯罪，并以理性选择理论和常规活动方法为基础。我们认为，为了了解拉丁美洲最近的犯罪趋势，必须结合其他犯罪理论，以及更好地理解国家的作用。
