自2013年以来，美国多个城市都发生了打着“黑人生命也是命”旗帜的反对警察暴力对待黑人的抗议活动。我们开发了 2014 年至 2015 年发生的“黑人生命也是命”抗议活动的新数据集，并探讨了它们出现的背景。我们发现，“黑人生命也是命”抗议活动更有可能发生在此前有更多黑人被警察杀害的地区。我们根据有关社会运动发展的文献以及最近关于监禁国家对政治参与影响的学术研究，讨论了我们的发现的含义。
Since 2013, protests opposing police violence against Black people have occurred across a number of American cities under the banner of “Black Lives Matter.” We develop a new dataset of Black Lives Matter protests that took place in 2014–2015 and explore the contexts in which they emerged. We find that Black Lives Matter protests are more likely to occur in localities where more Black people have previously been killed by police. We discuss the implications of our findings in light of the literature on the development of social movements and recent scholarship on the carceral state’s impact on political engagement.
