An alarming number of unarmed Black men and women have been killed by police in the United States. Though research suggests that police violence is not a new phenomenon in Black communities in the United States, several shocking high-profile incidents of unarmed Black people killed by police in recent years have catapulted this problem more sharply into our nation's consciousness. Despite recent efforts to engage in critical discourse about police violence against unarmed Black people in mainstream media and across multiple disciplines, limited research exists on the connection between historical and contemporary acts of police violence in Black communities. This article conducts a critical analysis of the extant literature on historical and contemporary policing in the Black community and identifies linkages between these time periods using critical race theory. This article concludes with implications for social work to combat the issue of police violence in Black communities.
在美国,数量惊人的 unarmed Black 男女被警察杀害。尽管研究表明警察暴力在美国黑人社区并非新现象,但近年来几起令人震惊的警察杀害 unarmed Black 人的备受瞩目的事件,使这个问题更尖锐地进入了我们国家的意识之中。尽管最近在主流媒体和多个学科领域都努力对警察针对 unarmed Black 人的暴力行为进行批判性讨论,但关于黑人社区警察暴力的历史行为与当代行为之间的联系,相关研究却很有限。本文对关于黑人社区历史和当代警务的现有文献进行批判性分析,并运用批判种族理论确定这些时期之间的联系。本文最后阐述了社会工作在应对黑人社区警察暴力问题方面的意义。
你提供的原文中“unarmed Black”表述有误,正确的应该是“unarmed Black people”( unarmed 意为“未武装的、 unarmed Black people 即“手无寸铁的黑人” ) ,我按照纠正后的意思进行了翻译。
