In 2015 and 2016, U.S. homicide rates rose dramatically amid two historic social phenomena: a police legitimacy crisis related to an alleged “Ferguson effect” and the opioid epidemic. To empirically explain this increase, we compile county-level data on race/ethnic-specific homicides from 2014 to 2016 along with contemporaneous county-level data on police killings of civilians, citizen protests, fatal drug overdoses, structural disadvantage, and other factors. Regression analysis suggests that both police illegitimacy and the drug epidemic contributed to Black and White homicide rises, particularly in structurally disadvantaged counties. However, we find no such association for Hispanic homicide increases.

是弗格森效应,还是毒品流行,或者两者都不是?按种族和种族解释2015年和2016年美国的凶杀案上升

在2015年和2016年,由于两个历史性社会现象:与所谓的“弗格森效应”有关的警察合法性危机和阿片类药物的流行,美国的凶杀率急剧上升。为了从经验上解释这种增加,我们汇总了2014年至2016年县级种族/族裔特定凶杀案的数据,以及同时期县级警察杀害平民,公民抗议,致命毒品过量,结构性劣势和其他因素的数据。回归分析表明,警察的不法行为和毒品的流行都导致黑白杀人案的增加,特别是在结构不利的县。但是,我们没有发现这种与西班牙裔凶杀案增加的关联。
