摘要

在他的2020年ESR文章中,Arun Frey分析了他从德国慈善基金会和一家非营利组织出版的针对难民的敌对事件编年史中抓取的种族暴力数据。他发现2015/2016年的跨年夜性侵犯对反难民暴力产生了显著的、据称是因果关系的影响。我们认为,由于数据收集方式的同时改变,得出关于新年前夜事件影响的结论是无效的。我们回顾了2016年初德国政府层面数据报告的变化,并讨论了在关注未受这些变化影响的数据时缺乏显著的新年效应。这使人们对Frey(2020)之前提出的研究结果产生了怀疑。最后,我们要提出一般性的警告。

Not Cologne but the data collection (might have) changed everything: a cautionary tale on ignoring changes in data recording in sociological research
Abstract In his 2020 ESR article, Arun Frey analysed data on ethnic violence that he web-scraped from a chronicle of hostile incidents against refugees, published by a German charitable foundation and a non-profit organization. He finds remarkable and supposedly causal effects of the New Year’s Eve sexual assaults in 2015/2016 on anti-refugee violence. We argue that it is invalid to draw conclusions regarding the effects of the New Year’s Eve event due to simultaneous alterations in the way the data have been collected. We review the changes in data reporting which took place at the beginning of 2016 on the level of the German government and discuss the lack of a remarkable New Year’s effect when focussing on data which has not been affected by these changes. This casts doubt on the previous findings proposed by Frey (2020). We conclude with a general word of caution.
