Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We test for a “Ferguson
Effect” by studying how police effort responds to different incidents of police
violence. We do so using two settings in
Minneapolis: (1) George Floyd’s murder, and (2) police-involved shootings. We
find that following George Floyd’s death, arrests and police-initiated calls
decreased by 61 and 69 percent, respectively. By comparison, arrests and
police-initiated calls decreased by 3 and 1.5 percent following police-involved
shootings. We conclude that incidents of police violence generate
“de-policing”, and the effect is much larger following highly publicized
incidents.
