Racial Harassment, Ethnic Concentration, and Economic Conditions*
研究了英国少数族裔的空间集中度与种族骚扰之间的关系,发现族群集中度高的地区骚扰经历更少,尽管多数群体的敌意并未降低。
Abstract In this paper, we analyse the association between the spatial concentration of ethnic minorities and racial harassment. Ethnic concentration relates to racial harassment through at least three channels: hostility in the attitudes of majority individuals that finds expression in harassment behaviour, the probability that minority individuals meet majority individuals, and the cost of expressing hostility aggressively. Thus, harassment cannot simply be modelled as a stronger form of hostility. Using unique data for Britain, we show that, in areas of higher local ethnic concentration, experience of harassment is lower, even though hostility on the side of the majority population is not.
