Y***i 发帖数: 1932 | 1 Using the Anti-Defamation League’s Hate, Extremism, Anti-Semitism,
Terrorism map data (HEAT map), we examined whether there was a correlation
between the counties that hosted one of Trump’s 275 presidential campaign
rallies in 2016 and increased incidents of hate crimes in subsequent months.
To test this, we aggregated hate-crime incident data and Trump rally data to
the county level and then used statistical tools to estimate a rally’s
impact. We included controls for factors such as the county’s crime rates,
its number of active hate groups, its minority populations, its percentage
with college educations, its location in the country and the month when the
rallies occurred.
We found that counties that had hosted a 2016 Trump campaign rally saw a 226
percent increase in reported hate crimes over comparable counties that did
not host such a rally. |
