Great to see ``Police Violence and Civic Responses” with @ProfDesmondAng in print!
We find exposure to police violence causally increases registrations and votes. Effects are driven entirely by Black and Hispanic citizens and are largest for killings of unarmed people. A 🧵 1/:

Father Coughlin had a devoted following of 30 million radio listeners who tuned in to hear his populist tirades in the 1930s. We spoke with @Tianyi91 on what his research reveals about Coughlin's influence and the persuasiveness of popular media figures. aeaweb.org/research/tiyani-w…

Savoring these kind words from THE Shamus Khan. Anyway, yes, I did drop a new—shorter! (Don’t look at the appendix though 😂)—version of my working paper on the backlash to the Great Migration. Lessons from the biggest natural experiment in MTO in American history.

Finally, we find no evidence that effects were reversed by Derek Chauvin's conviction. Our results suggest high-profile acts of police violence can inflict lasting damage to civilian trust, a key input into law enforcement's ability to solve crimes & maintain public safety. 4/5

Declines are prevalent across Black, Hispanic and white neighborhoods, despite the latter's relatively limited direct exposure to police violence. 2/5

Changes in civilian engagement with police after Floyd's murder are closely tracked by shifts in attitudes towards the institution, again across demographic groups. 3/5

How does police violence affect public cooperation w/ law enforcement? In a new WP w/ @pankabencsik @jmb112485 @ederenoncourt, we find large declines in crime-reporting after the murder of George Floyd. Across 8 cities, 911 calls per gunshot drop by 50% & total calls by 25%. 1/5

Report from @RheaBoydMD, @fernandodemaio, @DrAlethaMaybank and Nancy Krieger in @Health_Affairs finds that top medical journals rarely publish articles showing how racism harms health. If you don’t even talk about it, you certainly can’t address it. ti.me/3tJ69DA
