警察暴力对城市学生的影响(摘要)
美国每年发生近1000起与警察有关的杀人事件。这篇文章记录了这些事件对洛杉矶公立高中学生的教育和心理健康在不同种族的影响。利用学生离杀人地点的距离的差异,发现暴露在警察暴力中会导致学生绩点(GPA)持续下降,情绪障碍发生率增加,高中毕业率和大学入学率降低。这些影响完全是由黑人和西班牙裔学生对警察杀害其他少数族裔的反应造成的,并在涉及手无寸铁的个人的事件中影响最大。
Nearly 1,000 officer-involved killings occur each year in the United States. This article documents the large, racially disparate effects of these events on the educational and psychological well-being of Los Angeles public high school students. Exploiting hyperlocal variation in how close students live to a killing, I find that exposure to police violence leads to persistent decreases in GPA, increased incidence of emotional disturbance, and lower rates of high school completion and college enrollment. These effects are driven entirely by black and Hispanic students in response to police killings of other minorities and are largest for incidents involving unarmed individuals.
