摘要特别是随着人们对警察使用致命武力的关注的重新抬头，迫切需要了解导致警察枪击的风险因素。本研究采用配对病例对照设计，以消除混杂因素的枪击事件，并确定人员的功能，增加他们的射击风险。通过在同一现场将射击警官与非射击警官相匹配，分析将警官特征的作用与事件环境的特征隔离开来。这项研究使用了纽约市警察局的数据，这些数据涉及2004年至2006年期间裁定的106起涉及警察的枪击事件中的291名警察。黑人警官是其他警官的3.3倍，档案中迅速积累负面分数的警官开枪的可能性是其他警官的3.1倍。晚些时候开始警察生涯的警察不太可能开枪。结果表明，官员特征有关的发射枪支是可识别的。
ABSTRACT Particularly with the resurgence of concern over police use of deadly force, there is a pressing need to understand the risk factors that lead to police shootings. This study uses a matched-case–control design to remove confounders of shooting incidents and identify features of officers that increased their risk of shooting. By matching shooting officers to nonshooting officers at the same scene, the analysis isolates the role of the officers’ features from the features of the incident’s environment. The study uses data from the New York City Police Department on 291 officers involved in 106 officer-involved shootings adjudicated between 2004 and 2006. Black officers were 3.3 times and officers rapidly accumulating negative marks in their files were 3.1 times more likely to shoot than other officers. Officers who started their police career later in life were less likely to shoot. The results indicate that officer features related to discharging a firearm are identifiable.
