Read full article: Miami criminologist worries about rise in violence during coronavirus pandemic

MIAMI – A renowned criminologist with the University of Miami said Tuesday the coronavirus pandemic is mostly to blame for a rise in violent crime in Miami-Dade County. In addition to the cocaine markets and the gang activity, Piquero attributes the violent offenses to the many ramifications of the pandemic. ā€œThen you add to that an increase in gun sales, gun thefts.ā€The pandemic has also changed law enforcement tactics. The difficulty with finding solutions to the increased violence, Piquero said, is that homicides are typically situational, they’re not planned. To help reduce the violence, Piquero said community leaders need to figure out what are the police-related solutions and what are the non-police-related solutions.
