Abstract

Mass shootings are most frequently committed by white men. Yet, these white perpetrators often do not meet the same fatal fate as Black people who have committed lesser crimes, particularly in the United States. Furthermore, Black people with mental health issues in such situations are more commonly met with lethal force. This study investigates if disparities exist in the likelihood of being apprehended, taking one’s own life, or being killed by police or others during a public mass shooting incident based on one’s race and known mental health status. Using the Violence Project data, this study aids understanding of the causes and consequences of mass violence.

种族和心理健康在公共大规模枪击事件现场结果中的作用

大规模枪击案最常见的犯罪者是白人男性。然而，这些白人罪犯往往不会像犯罪情节较轻的黑人那样遭遇致命的命运，尤其是在美国。此外，在这种情况下，有精神健康问题的黑人更常遭遇致命武力。本研究调查了在公共大规模枪击事件中，根据个人的种族和已知的精神健康状况，被警方或其他人逮捕、自杀或杀害的可能性是否存在差异。本研究利用 "暴力项目 "的数据，帮助人们了解大规模暴力事件的原因和后果。
