Comportamiento de los índices de violencia intrafamiliar durante los meses de marzo a julio del 2020 en Medellín Período Covid19

Abstract

Domestic violence is an ancestral scourge, however, at present, both international and national legislation punish and condemn this conduct. There are legal and intersectoral mechanisms, as well as associations, to defend its victims. This essay was dedicated to investigating rates of intrafamily violence during the months of March and July 2020 in Medellín during the Covid19 period, and analyzing their behavior during a mandatory quarantine period. The interpretive paradigm is used, with a qualitative research method, with a criminalistic approach, in which some data on intrafamily violence from official sources were used as instruments, and doctrine and norms of the aforementioned phenomenon were traced. It was found that in the period of analysis (March 2020 and July 2020) the cases of intra-family violence in Medellín increased: and that is how it increased by 63%, going from 981 cases reported in the month of March of 2020 to 1600, reported in the month of July 2020. From which it is concluded that at the time of mandatory quarantine (with its extensions) promulgated by national and local authorities, there was more intransigence, less peaceful coexistence that led to an increase in these facts.
