摘要

本研究考察了地方政府女性领导对暴力侵害妇女行为的影响。回归不连续估计表明，选举女性市长导致有记录的警察强奸案在统计上显著增加。然而，这种上升是好消息，这不是由于实际犯罪的增加，而是由于更多的报告。我发现女性的胜利减少了30%到37%的针对女性的谋杀，但对男性的谋杀却没有影响。此外，研究还探讨了受害者的行为反应。暗示性证据表明，女性市长上任后，女性受害者可能更有可能报告针对她们的暴力行为。此外，女性的胜利与警察的反应能力更强有关。

Female mayors and violence against women: Evidence from the U.S.

This study examines the impact of female leadership in local government on violence against women. Regression discontinuity estimates show that elections of female mayors lead to a statistically significant increase in documented rapes by the police. Yet, this rise is good news, which is due not to a rise in actual crimes committed but, rather, to greater reporting. I find that female victories decrease homicides against women by 30 % to 37 % but leave homicides against men unaffected. Moreover, the study explores behavioral responses by victims. Suggestive evidence shows that female victims may be more likely to report violence against them after female mayors take office. Also, female victories are associated with greater police responsiveness.

期刊介绍： Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
