历史上，使用治安来执行公共卫生指导方针会产生有害的后果，警方执行新冠肺炎命令的早期证据表明，在逮捕行动中，纽约黑人占了不成比例的比例。在大流行期间，对黑人和低收入社区的过度监管有增加传播的风险，有可能加剧现有的健康不平等。为了评估在邮政编码层面执行新冠肺炎任务方面的种族主义和基于阶级的不平等，我们对2020年3月12日至5月24日期间纽约市的人口因素和公共卫生警务进行了回顾性空间分析。警务成果(新冠肺炎刑事法庭传票、公共卫生和妨害逮捕)是使用公开的警察行政数据进行衡量的。在控制了两种社交距离遵从性指标后，黑人居民百分比的标准差增加与特定于新冠肺炎的传票比率增加73%(95%可信区间：35%，123%)以及公共卫生和妨害制止率增加34%(95%可信区间：17%，53%)相关。与衡量社交距离遵从性的多项指标相比，黑人居民比例和历史截查比率与新冠肺炎传票比率的相关性更强。调查结果表明，在公共卫生的大流行警务方面，存在着明显的空间和种族主义不平等现象，这模仿了被认为具有种族歧视的历史警务做法。如果公共卫生领域支持将定罪和惩罚作为公共卫生战略，就有可能重新界定种族主义的卫生不平等。
The use of policing to enforce public health guidelines has historically produced harmful consequences, and early evidence from the police enforcement of COVID-19 mandates suggested Black New Yorkers were disproportionately represented in arrests. The over-policing of Black and low-income neighborhoods during a pandemic risks increased transmission, potentially exacerbating existing health inequities. To assess racialized and class-based inequities in the enforcement of COVID-19 mandates at the ZIP-code-level, we conducted a retrospective spatial analysis of demographic factors and public health policing in New York City from March 12-May 24, 2020. Policing outcomes (COVID-19 criminal court summonses and public health and nuisance arrests) were measured using publicly available police administrative data. After controlling for two measures of social distancing compliance, a standard deviation increase in percentage of Black residents was associated with a 73% increase (95% CI: 35%, 123%) in the COVID-19-specific summons rate and a 34% increase (95% CI: 17%, 53%) in the public health and nuisance arrest rate. Percentage of Black residents and historical stop-and-frisk rates had stronger associations with COVID-19 summons rates than multiple measures of social distancing compliance. Findings demonstrate pronounced spatial and racialized inequities in pandemic policing of public health that mimic historical policing practices deemed racially discriminatory. If the field of public health supports criminalization and punishment as public health strategies, it risks reinscribing racialized health inequities.
