本文提供的证据表明，在2016年合作多种族选举后调查中，暴露于低威胁黑人受害者的警察死亡事件会增加40岁以下黑人受访者的政治兴趣和选民投票率。受害者的种族、威胁程度和能见度会影响警察死亡引发政治关注的可能性。实验组的政治兴趣和选民投票率高于对照组，实验组在参与CMPS之前接触到高能见度/低威胁的黑人受害者，而对照组在参与调查后才接触到这些受害者。让年轻的黑人受访者了解所有受害者，而不考虑威胁、能见度或种族，不会影响政治兴趣或选民投票率，这表明这些因素对动员的重要性。调查结果阐明了“黑人的命也是命”活动人士、记者和监督组织在对抗警察的行动中可以发挥的作用，这些行动塑造了警察暴力的黑人受害者的形象和形象。
This article presents evidence that exposure to officer-involved deaths of low-threat Black victims increases political interest and voter turnout among Black respondents under age 40 to the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey. Victim race, threat level, and visibility affect the likelihood that an officer-involved death will mobilize political interest. Political interest and voter turnout are higher among the treatment group, which was exposed to high-visibility/low-threat Black victims only before participating in the CMPS, than in the control group, which was exposed to such victims only after taking the survey. Exposing young Black respondents to all victims without accounting for threat, visibility, or race does not affect political interest or voter turnout, suggesting the importance of these factors for mobilization. The findings clarify the role that Black Lives Matter activists, journalists, and watchdog groups can play in countering the police actions that shape the visibility and framing of Black victims of police violence.
