Abstract

How has Black Lives Matter (BLM) influenced police lethal force? An event study design finds census places with early BLM protests experienced a 10% to 15% decrease in police homicides from 2014 through 2019, around 200 fewer deaths. This decrease was prominent when protests were large and frequent. Potential mechanisms behind the reduction include police agencies obtaining body-worn cameras to curtail force and a so-called ‘Ferguson effect.’ Fewer property crime arrests, but more reported murders, were associated with local protests, yet the property crime clearance rate fell.

黑人生命事件对警方使用致命武力的影响

黑人生命重要（BLM）如何影响警方的致命武力？一项事件研究设计发现，从 2014 年到 2019 年，有早期 BLM 抗议活动的人口普查地区的警察杀人案件减少了 10%到 15%，死亡人数减少了约 200 人。当抗议活动规模大且频繁时，这一下降尤为突出。减少背后的潜在机制包括警察机构获得随身携带的摄像机以减少武力，以及所谓的 "弗格森效应"。与当地抗议活动相关的财产犯罪逮捕数量较少，但报告的谋杀数量较多，但财产犯罪破案率却有所下降。
