Paul Cassell, a professor at S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, explained the phenomenon in a research paper titled ''"Explaining the Recent Homicide Spikes in U.S. Cities: The 'Minneapolis Effect' and the Decline in Proactive Policing."''{{quotebox-float|"Recently, major cities across the country have suffered dramatic spikes in [[homicide]]s. These spikes are remarkably large, suddenly appearing and widespread. At this rate, 2020 will easily be the deadliest year in [[America]] for gun-related homicides since at least 1999, while most other major crime categories are trending stable or slightly downward."}} Cities like [[Chicago]], [[New York City]], [[Philadelphia]], [[Milwaukee]] and [[Detroit]] have seen spikes in homicides, aggravated assault and gun assaults this year, according to a July study by the nonpartisan National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice (NCCCJ).<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/crime-spike-minneapolis-effect-police-cuts</ref> Cassell said the end result is 710 additional homicides and 2,800 more shootings in the U.S. And the professor attributes “several hundred” of the deaths directly to the war on police.[[File:RCP USA.jpeg|right|150px|thumb|The Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party endorsed Joe Biden.<ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/9/communists-approve-joe-biden-for-president/</ref>]]{{quotebox-float|“My estimates are that several hundred additional victims were murdered because of a reduction in policing. There are very significant trade-offs that need to be considered here that have truly life-threatening implications if they’re not handled carefully.”}}With cities like New York City, moving to defund police by cutting their budgets, or otherwise redirecting funding to social services, this is having an impact as well.{{quotebox-float|“In the wake of the antipolice protests surrounding George Floyd’s death, less policing has occurred,” he wrote, saying “law enforcement capabilities have been diminished by reduced funding and other setbacks (such as increased retirements due to demoralization).”<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/09/30/us-sees-710-additional-homicides-and-2800-more-shootings-attributed-to-minneapolis-effect-978986</ref>}}
