Engaging Communities on Statistical Research in the Analysis of Police Use of Force

Oregon Convention Center 

Interdisciplinary research in the realm of police use of force possesses the unique potential to unite stakeholders from academia, government, community organizations, and law enforcement. This talk delves into our endeavors and insights derived from the Ingram Olkin Forum, aptly titled "Statistical Challenges in the Analysis of Police Use of Force." Drawing from our experiences and interactions with forum participants, we have formulated a comprehensive set of guidelines. These guidelines are designed to foster investment from all stakeholders in the research findings and, most importantly, to steer the research outputs towards creating a measurable societal impact.
