The effects of recent protests for racial equality, particularly when they included violence, are currently of public and academic interest. To better understand these effects, we combine a dataset of all 2020 BlackLivesMatter protests with survey data containing measures of prejudice and support for police reform. Protests were not associated with reductions in prejudice, but were associated with increases in support for police reform. | The effects of recent protests for racial equality, particularly when they included violence, are currently of public and academic interest.

Nonviolent resistance refers to a range of strategies used to achieve social or political goals without resorting to violence. This approach includes tactics such as symbolic protests, civil disobedience, and economic or political noncooperation. It is often synonymous with civil resistance and is sometimes called nonviolent action. The methods employed can vary widely and may include activities like picketing, vigils, leafletting, and protest art, among others. Importantly, nonviolent resistance emphasizes the refusal to use violence, advocating for peaceful means to effect change. | |||
