妨害条例是一类市政法规,其被表述为减轻警力负担并减少不良行为(如反复拨打 911 报警电话、涉毒活动和扰乱治安行为)的手段。本研究考察了 1999 年至 2017 年间妨害条例对俄亥俄州及周边通勤区药物相关死亡率的影响。运用现代双重差分框架,我发现这些法律导致阿片类、酒精和可卡因相关的药物过量死亡率上升。我检验了两种机制:拨打 911 的迟疑与驱逐程序。这些结果表明,物质使用者正在因妨害条例的存在而受到伤害。
Abstract
ABSTRACT Nuisance ordinances are a class of municipal law that are framed as a way to reduce both police burden and unwanted behaviors such as repeated calls to 911, drug‐related activity, and disorderly conduct. This study explores the effect of nuisance ordinances on drug‐related mortality rates in Ohio and surrounding commuting zones from 1999 to 2017. Using a modern difference‐in‐differences framework, I find that these laws cause an increase in opioid‐, alcohol‐, and cocaine‐related overdose mortality. I test for two mechanisms: 911 hesitancy and the eviction process. These results highlight that substance users are being harmed by the presence of nuisance ordinances.
