摘要

本研究采用月度间断时间序列（ITS）设计，使用从马萨诸塞州 438 个执法机构收集的警察不当行为总体事件和涉及使用武力事件的数据。警察改革法案》于 2020 年 12 月出台。月度数据涵盖 1989 年 1 月至 2023 年 12 月（N = 420），其中 1989 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月为《警察改革法案》实施前（N = 384），2022 年 1 月至 2023 年 12 月为《警察改革法案》实施后（N = 36）。结果月度间断时间序列分析结果显示，与《警务改革法案》实施前相比，《警务改革法案》实施后，警察不当行为事件总数和涉及使用武力的不当行为事件总数的趋势明显下降。

The effect of police reform on overall police misconduct and misconduct that involves the use of force

Purpose

This study investigates whether the Police Reform Bill significantly reduced overall incidents of police misconduct, including those involving the use of force, in Massachusetts.

Methods

The current study employed a monthly interrupted time series (ITS) design using data on overall incidents of police misconduct and incidents involving the use of force, collected from the 438 law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts. The Police Reform Bill was introduced in December 2020. The monthly data covers the period from January 1989 through December, 2023 (N = 420), with January 1989 through December 2021 serving as the period before the implementation of the Police Reform Bill (N = 384) and January 2022 through December, 2023 as the period following the implementation of the Police Reform Bill (N = 36).

Results

The results of the monthly interrupted time series analyses showed that, compared to before the implementation of the Police Reform Bill, the trend in the overall number of police misconduct incidents and the number of misconduct incidents involving the use of force significantly declined after the implementation of the Police Reform Bill.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that the Police Reform Bill is effective in reducing police misconduct and misconduct incidents involving the use of force.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
