本文基于对过去 20 年来纽约市毒品市场和暴力变化的人种学观察,比较和对比了三种不同类型的毒品市场以及每种类型的系统性暴力类型,并认为了解哪种市场和环境与哪种暴力相关对于政策制定者和专业人士来说是有价值的。此外,不断变化的毒品市场和与特定市场类型相关的不同形式的暴力在一定程度上是对旨在消除毒品市场的执法干预措施的反应。警方的干预措施会随着毒品市场的适应而改变毒品市场的特征,无论是好是坏,而这些干预措施可能会在暴力和犯罪方面产生明显不同的结果。范围有限、相对简短的干预措施可以通过“训练”市场以不太可能产生暴力和社会混乱的方式行事,从而有效控制暴力并重新配置市场。
Based on ethnographic observation of the changes in drug markets and violence in New York City over the past 20 years, this paper compares and contrasts three distinct types of drug markets and the types of systemic violence that are characteristic of each and argues that knowing which kinds of markets and contexts are associated with what kinds of violence can be valuable for policy makers and professionals. Further, evolving drug markets and different forms of violence associated with particular market types are, in part, responses to law enforcement interventions intended to eliminate drug markets. Police interventions alter the character of drug markets-either for better or for worse-as they adapt, and these interventions can produce markedly different outcomes with regard to violence and crime. Comparatively brief interventions of limited scope can effectively control violence and reconfigure markets by "training" them to act in ways less likely to produce violence and social disorder.
