越来越多的研究强调了大规模监禁的附带后果，包括拦截和搜身的警务策略。生活在一个有侵略性警务的社区可能会影响一个人的心理健康，特别是对于那些警察拦截的主要目标的男性。我们研究了心理困扰和社区一级的侵略性警务之间是否存在关联（即，搜查和警察使用武力）以及这种关联是否因性别而异。将2009-2011年纽约市（NYC）停车、提问和搜身数据库汇总到社区级别（N = 34），并通过受访者居住地的联合医院基金与2012年纽约市社区健康调查（N = 8066）的个人数据合并。加权多水平广义线性模型被用来评估主要和性别的协会邻居接触积极的警察停止心理困扰（凯斯勒-6项目）。虽然邻里停车率与心理困扰的关联不一致，但邻里水平的搜身和使用武力的比例与男性的非特异性心理困扰水平较高有关，但与女性无关。具体来说，男性比女性表现出更多的非特异性心理困扰和更严重的紧张感，努力，以及在积极监视的社区中的无助感。男性居民受到一个社区警察盘查升级的影响。生活在咄咄逼人的治安环境中是男子心理健康的一个重要风险因素。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
A growing body of research highlights the collateral consequences of mass incarceration, including stop and -frisk policing tactics. Living in a neighborhood with aggressive policing may affect one's mental health, especially for men who are the primary targets of police stops. We examine whether there is an association between psychological distress and neighborhood-level aggressive policing (i.e., frisking and use of force by police) and whether that association varies by gender. The 2009-2011 New York City (NYC) Stop, Question, and Frisk Database is aggregated to the neighborhood-level (N = 34) and merged with individual data from the 2012 NYC Community Health Survey (N = 8066) via the United Hospital Fund neighborhood of respondents' residence. Weighted multilevel generalized linear models are used to assess main and gendered associations of neighborhood exposures to aggressive police stops on psychological distress (Kessler-6 items). While the neighborhood stop rate exhibits inconsistent associations with psychological distress, neighborhood-level frisk and use of force proportions are linked to higher levels of non-specific psychological distress among men, but not women. Specifically, men exhibit more non-specific psychological distress and more severe feelings of nervousness, effort, and worthlessness in aggressively surveilled neighborhoods than do women. Male residents are affected by the escalation of stop-and-frisk policing in a neighborhood. Living in a context of aggressive policing is an important risk factor for men's mental health.
