In early 2020 the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic swept across the globe, impacting the criminal justice system in myriad ways. The effects of this significant societal upheaval were then exacerbated by unprecedented and extended protests and social unrest following the murder of George Floyd. This analysis seeks to clarify the disproportionate impacts on communities of color in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) neighborhoods. This analysis considers all acts of violence, weighted by severity, and examined across the natural societal boundaries of the city for a seven-year period, while controlling for temporal trends and seasonality. Analysis using a fixed effects cross-sectional panel design of different racial/ethnic groups in the city finds that the increase in violent harm experienced by the city disproportionately impacted Hispanic communities, and one neighborhood specifically. In other words, during and following the 2020 ‘Summer of Racial Reckoning’, violence rose across Philadelphia, but increased more so in the Upper Kensington neighborhood. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

2020 年初，冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 大流行席卷全球，以多种方式影响刑事司法系统。乔治·弗洛伊德被谋杀后，史无前例的长期抗议和社会动荡加剧了这一重大社会动荡的影响。本分析旨在澄清对费城（宾夕法尼亚州）社区有色人种社区的不成比例的影响。该分析考虑了所有暴力行为，按严重程度进行加权，并在七年时间内跨越城市的自然社会边界进行了检查，同时控制了时间趋势和季节性。使用城市中不同种族/族裔群体的固定效应横截面面板设计进行的分析发现，该城市经历的暴力伤害的增加对西班牙裔社区产生了不成比例的影响，特别是一个街区。换句话说，在 2020 年“种族清算之夏”期间和之后，费城各地的暴力事件有所增加，但上肯辛顿社区的暴力事件增加得更多。对此可能的原因进行了讨论。
