The Effects of Police Violence on Inner-City Students*
研究发现，美国每年近千起警察杀人事件对洛杉矶公立高中学生产生巨大且种族差异显著的教育和心理影响，导致黑人及西班牙裔学生成绩下降、情绪障碍增加、高中毕业率和大学入学率降低。
Abstract 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.
