SignificanceThe effects of recent protests for racial equality, particularly when they included violence, are currently of public and academic interest. To better understand these effects, we combine a dataset of all 2020 BlackLivesMatter protests with survey data containing measures of prejudice and support for police reform. Protests were not associated with reductions in prejudice, but were associated with increases in support for police reform. Specifically, a mix of nonviolent and violent protests was associated with an increase in police-reform support among conservatives living in liberal areas. This study highlights the importance of considering multiple measures of protest effectiveness and suggests that mass protest (including when it mixes nonviolence and violence) can be effective at advancing the movement's goals.
意义
最近的种族平等抗议活动，尤其是那些包含暴力行为的抗议活动，目前引起了公众和学术界的关注。为了更好地理解这些影响，我们将 2020 年所有“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动的数据与包含偏见和支持警察改革措施的调查数据结合起来。抗议活动与减少偏见无关，但与支持警察改革的增加有关。具体来说，在自由派地区居住的保守派人士中，非暴力和暴力抗议活动的混合与对警察改革支持的增加有关。这项研究强调了考虑多种抗议效果衡量标准的重要性，并表明大规模抗议活动（包括当它混合使用非暴力和暴力时）可以有效地推进运动的目标。
