- 요약In 2020, the United States was gripped by three parallel social movements: an outrush of support for the Black Lives Matter movement following the murder of George Floyd, discontent over state-mandated lockdowns to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic, and a wildly discordant presidential election. This historic spike in protest activity garnered significant attention from the press, policymakers, and members of the public alike. Mainstream news organizations flooded the airwaves with images of riotous protestors and militarized police forces, leading some to argue that the police had behaved disparately at protests associated with some social movements. Although a small but dense literature in the early 2000s identified multiple theories explaining police and protestor behavior, it is unclear how these theories help account for any disparity in police behavior. This dissertation examines police and protestor behavior during the 2020 protests to investigate patterns of police behavior and illuminate a path towards more effective police-protestor interactions. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data set, this project first examines the popular perception that police behaved disparately during the 2020 protests. Then, I explore how on-the-ground interactions between police and protestors help account for the pattern of disparate behavior uncovered in the initial quantitative analysis. Finally, drawing upon the quantitative findings, I examine how local social and political context shapes police interactions with protestors. Together, these projects update theory and research of social movements, protest, and police behavior.
