Exploring the Ferguson Effect: Myth or Material Fact?

By: Jacob Longman

When Officer Darren Wilson, having just tended to a baby with breathing problems, spotted Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson on August 9, 2014, the murder statistics in New York City were on their way down to a record low: 330.[1] [2]

“Unit 21. Put me on Canfield with two.” Wilson radioed. “And send me another car.” Seconds later, Brown, hit six times, lay dying in the street and the United States faced its toughest racial litmus test in decades. In the wake of Brown’s death, a divergent effect on criminal activity has emerged. While crime in general has continued to fall, violent crime has risen. (more…)
