种族政治如何影响国家提供警务服务的能力?我们使用一组关于6,784名警察全部职业生涯的行政人员数据,展示了肯尼亚独立前后种族政治的兴起如何影响警察的行为。我们发现,在肯尼亚第一次多党选举之后,与执政党有联系的少数民族警官的纪律严重恶化。这些影响是由这些警察的行为变化驱动的。我们没有发现警方有偏袒的证据。相反,我们的研究结果与经历鼓舞效应的同种族官员一致。我们的研究结果强调,国家的安全机构,在其最细粒度的水平,是不是从种族政治绝缘。(JEL D72、J15、K42、O15、O17)
How does ethnic politics affect the state’s ability to provide policing services? Using a panel of administrative personnel data on the full careers of 6,784 police officers, we show how the rise of ethnic politics around Kenya’s independence influenced policemen’s behavior. We  find a significant deterioration in discipline after Kenya’s first multiparty election for those police officers of ethnic groups associated with the ruling party. These effects are driven by a behavioral change among these policemen. We find no evidence of favoritism within the police. Instead, our results are consistent with co-ethnic officers experiencing an emboldenment effect. Our findings highlight that the state’s security apparatus, at its most granular level, is not insulated from ethnic politics. (JEL D72, J15, K42, O15, O17)
