摘要

自20世纪90年代初以来，27个州通过了被称为“坚守阵地法”的法规，为在自卫中使用致命武力的公民提供法律保护，8个州因法院裁决而成为事实上的坚守阵地州。这些法律的支持者认为它们起到了刑事威慑的作用，而反对者则认为它们使私刑合法化。本文的目的是确定立场法和犯罪之间是否存在关系。1980年至2018年固定效应和负二项回归模型的数据发现，无论哪种方向，立场法则和犯罪之间都没有强烈的关系。讨论了政策影响，即这些法律的主要成本和收益不太可能源于犯罪的增加或减少，而是增加对自卫平民的保护所带来的法律和道德后果。

No Retreat: The Impact of Stand Your Ground Laws on Violent Crime

Since the early 1990s, 27 states passed statutes known as “stand your ground laws” to give legal protection to citizens who use lethal force in self-defense, and 8 states have acted as de facto stand your ground states due to court rulings. Proponents of these laws believe they act as a criminal deterrent while opponents say they legitimize vigilantism. The aim of this paper is to determine whether there is a relationship between stand your ground laws and crime. Data from fixed effects and negative binomial regression models from 1980–2018 find no strong relationship between stand your ground laws and crime in either direction. Policy implications are discussed, namely, the primary costs and benefits of these laws are not likely to stem from increases or decreases in crime but rather the legal and ethical consequences of increasing protections for civilians who act in self-defense.
