IAZZETTA, Marco. State, Organized Crime and Covid-19 Pandemic. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2020, n.40, suppl.1, pp.289-294. ISSN 1853-984X.

This article aims to address the actions of different criminal organizations in Latin America during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is considered that the social measures that they implemented in the framework of this emergency context provided certainty and order in the populations that are in their areas of influence. In addition, the cases analyzed would show that these groups often have greater capacity, authority and legitimacy than the State itself when it comes to guaranteeing compliance with the measures that it promulgates.

Keywords : Organized crime; Covid-19; Latin America.
