Soccer violence is an item of the government agenda and the origin of certain public legislation and policies. However, the design of such policies does not incorporate all the actors involved in the phenomenon, for example, the communities that reside in areas near the stadiums. This paper reviews the legislation that regulates soccer violence in Colombia and Medellin, and the consequences of its implementation in the city. Additionally, it collects the perception of the community located near Atanasio Girardot Stadium, in order to establish how the community is affected, and to build an analytical framework for the local policies against soccer violence implemented by the local government.
