论文摘要

当前从YouTube等社交媒体平台上删除钻探音乐视频的政策仍然存在争议,因为它有可能将RAP和暴力的同时存在与两者的因果关系链混合在一起。从经验上讲,我们重新审视了是否有证据表明猜想的钻探音乐和帮派暴力是联系在一起的问题。我们提供了新的经验见解,暗示:i)钻探音乐歌词随着时间的流逝不会变得更加消极,如果它们变得更加积极; ii)单个演习艺术家与演习类型中的其他艺术家具有类似的情感轨迹,iii)与伦敦的三种警察录制的暴力犯罪数据相比,演习音乐与现实生活中的暴力之间没有有意义的关系。我们建议对新工作的想法,以帮助围绕该问题建立急需的证据基础。

The current policy of removing drill music videos from social media platforms such as YouTube remains controversial because it risks conflating the co-occurrence of drill rap and violence with a causal chain of the two. Empirically, we revisit the question of whether there is evidence to support the conjecture that drill music and gang violence are linked. We provide new empirical insights suggesting that: i) drill music lyrics have not become more negative over time if anything they have become more positive; ii) individual drill artists have similar sentiment trajectories to other artists in the drill genre, and iii) there is no meaningful relationship between drill music and real-life violence when compared to three kinds of police-recorded violent crime data in London. We suggest ideas for new work that can help build a much-needed evidence base around the problem.
