Police Violence and Citizen Crime Reporting in the Black Community
Abstract
High-profile cases of police violence—disproportionately experienced by black men—may present a serious threat to public safety if they lower citizen crime reporting. Using an interrupted time series design, this study analyzes how one of Milwaukee’s most publicized cases of police violence against an unarmed black man, the beating of Frank Jude, affected police-related 911 calls. Controlling for crime, prior call patterns, and several neighborhood characteristics, we find that residents of Milwaukee’s neighborhoods, especially residents of black neighborhoods, were far less likely to report crime after Jude’s beating was broadcast. The effect lasted for over a year and resulted in a total net loss of approximately 22,200 calls for service. Other local and national cases of police violence against unarmed black men also had a significant impact on citizen crime reporting in Milwaukee. Police misconduct can powerfully suppress one of the most basic forms of civic engagement: calling 911 for matters of personal and public safety.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Using an interrupted time series of Milwaukee 911 calls, the paper finds that publicized police violence against unarmed black men—especially the Frank Jude beating—sharply reduced citizen crime reporting, particularly in black neighborhoods. The effect lasted over a year and produced an estimated net loss of about 22,200 calls for service.
Key findings
- After the *Milwaukee Journal Sentinel* broke the Frank Jude beating story, police-related 911 calls declined significantly; the effect lasted more than a year and resulted in a net loss of approximately 22,200 calls, with 56% of that loss in black neighborhoods.
- In black neighborhoods, the decline was large and durable, while in white neighborhoods the decline was smaller and dissipated within about a year; black neighborhoods averaged 5.64 calls/week versus 1.7 calls/week in white neighborhoods.
- The six months after Jude’s story (March–August 2005) saw 87 homicides in Milwaukee, a 32% increase relative to the same six-month period in prior and subsequent years.
- Additional cases had mixed effects: Danyall Simpson’s beating and Sean Bell’s killing were followed by significant declines in 911 calls, while Oscar Grant’s killing did not reduce calls in Milwaukee and was followed by an increase.
Methods
- Interrupted time series design with block-group and month fixed effects, using negative binomial regression to model weekly 911 calls at the block-group level.
- Data: every 911 call placed in Milwaukee from March 1, 2004 to December 31, 2010 (N = 1,104,369); analyses focus on 596 block groups and 883,146 calls reporting crime, with controls for reported crime, neighborhood sociodemographic characteristics, and seasonality.
- Main analyses center on the date the Frank Jude story broke (February 6, 2005), with supplemental models for Danyall Simpson, Sean Bell, and Oscar Grant, plus a nonequivalent dependent variable analysis of automobile-accident calls.
Limitations
- The paper states that it relies on administrative records, that Milwaukee is similar to many midsize U.S. cities but highly segregated, and that effects may not be as acute or durable in more integrated cities; it also calls for future research on Hispanic communities.
- Evident from the design: the interrupted time series is observational and cannot definitively establish causality; exposure is assumed to begin when mainstream media broke each story, and concurrent events cannot be fully ruled out, though the automobile-accident analysis helps address general 911 declines.
- The paper notes that unreported crime likely increased post-Jude, which would make the estimated negative effect on crime reporting conservative.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
