摘要

我们通过随机抽签的方式，选取了一组在警察学院一起学习的警官，研究了警官当班受伤与其同伴使用武力之间的联系。当班受伤会使警察在接下来的一周内使用武力的可能性增加7%。警察也更有可能伤害嫌疑人，并收到关于忽视受害者和侵犯宪法权利的投诉。该效应集中在事件发生后的一个狭窄的时间窗口内，与警官受伤风险的显著降低无关。综上所述，这些发现表明，是情绪反应而不是社会学习推动了这种效果。(j76, j28, k42)

Peer Effects in Police Use of Force

We study the link between police officers’ on-duty injuries and their peers’ force use using a network of officers who attended the police academy together through a random lottery. On-duty injuries increase the probability of officers using force by 7 percent in the subsequent week. Officers are also more likely to injure suspects and receive complaints about neglecting victims and violating constitutional rights. The effect is concentrated in a narrow time window following the event and is not associated with significantly lower injury risk to the officer. Together, these findings suggest that emotional responses drive the effects rather than social learning. (JEL H76, J28, K42)
