“…This came after the rise in visibility of the Black Lives Matter movement, which first started in 2013 in response to police brutality and other systemic issues impacting Black individuals but gained widespread visibility with international protests occurring in the summer of 2020 [68,104]. In line with prior work finding that this disapproval has led to reduced citizen engagement in public safety and reporting of crimes [14], it is possible that by 2021 reduced trust in law enforcement led many respondents to no longer accept the sharing of genetic data with these entities.…”

People’s privacy sentiments influence changes in legislation as well as technology design and use. While single-point-in-time investigations of privacy sentiment offer useful insight, study of people’s privacy sentiments over time is also necessary to better understand and anticipate evolving privacy attitudes. In this work, we build off of a 2019 Pew Research study and use repeated cross-sectional surveys (n=6,676) from 2019, 2020, and 2021 to model the sentiments of people in the U.S. toward collection and use of data for government- and health-related purposes. After the onset of COVID-19, we observe significant decreases in respondent acceptance of government data use and significant increases in acceptance of health-related data uses. While differences in privacy attitudes between sociodemographic groups largely decreased over this time period, following the 2020 U.S. national elections, we observe some of the first evidence that privacy sentiments may change based on the alignment between a user’s politics and the political party in power. Our results offer insight into how privacy attitudes may have been impacted by recent events and allow us to identify potential predictors of changes in privacy attitudes during times of geopolitical or national change.

“…Our findings complicate existing theories of how criminalization politically socializes Americans, and Black Americans in particular (Weaver and Lerman 2010). Additionally, although many forms of criminalization have been found to contribute to a welldocumented subjective experience of alienation or group-level exclusion among Black Americans (Ang et al 2021;Bell 2017;Desmond, Papachristos, and Kirk 2016;Stuart 2016;Zoorob 2020), our contribution emphasizes the need for further research regarding how different forms of criminalization affect group-level perceptions of government and resultant political behaviors. Our findings are relevant for interdisciplinary scholars of crime, race, politics, municipal finance, and policing.…”

Ticketing and Turnout: The Participatory Consequences of Low-Level Police Contact

The American criminal legal system is an important site of political socialization: scholars have shown that criminal legal contact reduces turnout and that criminalization pushes people away from public institutions more broadly. Despite this burgeoning literature, few analyses directly investigate the causal effect of lower-level police contact on voter turnout. To do so, we leverage individual-level administrative ticketing data from Hillsborough County, Florida. We show that traffic stops materially decrease participation for Black and non-Black residents alike, and we also find temporal variation in the effect for Black voters. Although stops reduce turnout more for Black voters in the short term, they are less demobilizing over a longer time horizon. Although even low-level contacts with the police can reduce political participation across the board, our results point to a unique process of political socialization vis-à-vis the carceral state for Black Americans.

“…Given evidence that criminals respond significantly to changes in expected punishment (Drago et al, 2009), SJ policies could decrease crime rates. Related research on reports of gunshots after an MANNING AND BURKHARDT incident of police violence (Ang et al, 2021) provides additional evidence that trust in law enforcement can increase community engagement. Importantly, this mechanism works against all would-be criminals, not just those who are undocumented immigrants.…”

This study estimates the association between sanctuary policies and crime in the United States by exploiting an increase in state and local sanctuary policy adoption in 2014. Counties that adopted sanctuary policies in 2014 experienced a decrease of 17.9 violent crimes per 100,000 inhabitants per year (0.02 percentage points) compared to counties that continued to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), with the relationship driven by decreases in robberies and assaults. This result implies that sanctuary policies avoid $101 million per year in crime costs. Conversely, ICE cooperation increases crime costs in local communities by $3.28 billion per year.
