The Effect of Police Oversight on Crime and Misconduct Allegations: Evidence from Chicago
研究区分了警察监督与公众愤怒的影响，发现监督增加虽减少不当行为报告，但未显著影响犯罪或警察活动，而重大丑闻则可能增加犯罪。
Abstract Does police oversight increase crime? Studies examining this relationship often rely on major scandals as shocks, but the simultaneous effect of public outrage on officer behavior and crime contaminates the results. Using a framework distinguishing oversight and outrage, we identify two events that increased oversight but elicited no public reaction. We find that despite a subsequent decline in reported misconduct, these oversight increases likely did not significantly impact crime or officer activity, suggesting oversight can reduce misconduct without increasing crime. However, a major policing scandal likely increased crime but did not increase arrests and decreased stops and uses of force.
