We study the protest behavior of people linked to a student killed by a stray bullet coming from a policeman during a large protest. We use administrative data to follow his schoolmates and those living nearby in hundreds of protest and non-protest days. We find that repression causes a temporary deterrence effect but only on students with social links to the victim. Moreover, police repression increased adherence to a student-led boycott and had negative educational consequences, casting doubt on its effectiveness as a policy of deterrence.57 páginasPDFengOpen AccessWorking paperH75 - State and Local Government: Health, Education, Welfare , Public PensionsPolice repressionState repressionProtestStudentsViolencia urbana -- ChileRepresión -- ChileAcceso abiertoAtribucion-NoComercial-CompartirIgual CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
