An online sample of 528 people was asked to respond to a hypothetical scenario: Participants also reported on whether they experienced aggressive behavior by police in the past (provoked or otherwise) and, if so, completed a measure of associated posttraumatic stress. At least some fear of being killed by police (FKP) in the rearview mirror scenario was reported by the majority (56%) of Black participants, 39% of those self-describing as "other or mixed" race, and 31% of Hispanic participants, as compared to 26% of those of Asian descent and 19% of those identifying as White. When the highest level of FKP was considered, Black participants were 12 times more likely than White participants to report "extreme" fear of death at the hands of police. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and more participants were also more likely than cisgender/heterosexual respondents to report both FKP (35% vs. 20%) and "extreme" FKP (8% vs. 3%). FKP was also more prevalent among those self-reporting unprovoked police aggression in the past and those for whom police aggression had led to posttraumatic stress disorder.

一项在线调查了 528 人,要求他们对一个假设情景做出回应:参与者还报告了他们过去是否经历过警察的攻击性行为(挑衅或其他原因),如果有,他们完成了一项与创伤后应激相关的测量。在后视镜情景中,大多数(56%)黑人参与者、39%自称为“其他或混合”种族的参与者和 31%的西班牙裔参与者报告了对被警察杀害的某种恐惧(FKP),而亚洲血统的参与者中这一比例为 26%,白人参与者中这一比例为 19%。当考虑到最高水平的 FKP 时,黑人参与者报告“极度”害怕被警察杀害的可能性是白人参与者的 12 倍。女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿等群体的参与者也比顺性别/异性恋者更有可能报告 FKP(35%比 20%)和“极度”FKP(8%比 3%)。过去曾遭受无端警察攻击的人以及因警察攻击而导致创伤后应激障碍的人,也更有可能经历 FKP。(PsycInfo 数据库记录(c)2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
