This paper investigates through the methodology of negative zero inflated with fixed effects binomial regression relationship between Colombian professional football games league and the number of personal injury, theft and homicide (in an interval of eight hours) presented in twenty (20) cities in Colombia during the years 2010 - 2016. The results do not show a systematic relationship between football matches and the aforementioned crimes (that means, increase or decrease in crimes in a city due to the fact of hosting a football match or being the city of the visiting team). What they do show, is that there are increases in personal injuries and theft of people as stadium attendance increases. Attendance does not seem to have an effect on homicides. Notwithstanding the foregoing, increases in personal injury and theft from people do not appear to be economically significant for the eight - hour period within which the game was played nor annual at an aggregate level for the twenty cities.Downloads
