The study, carried out by the Human Rights Data Analysis Group and the International Truth and Justice Project, based on compiled lists which identify those who were known to have surrendered, estimated that 503 people had been forcibly disappeared between the 17th– 19th of May 2009.
A Data Double Take: Police Shootings
“In a recent article, social scientist Patrick Ball revisited his and Kristian Lumâs 2015 study, which made a compelling argument for the underreporting of lethal police shootings by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Lum and Ballâs study may be old, but it bears revisiting amid debates over the American police system â debates that have featured plenty of data on the excessive use of police force. It is a useful reminder that many of the facts and figures we rely on require further verification.”

One Better
The University of Michigan College of Literature, Science and the Arts profiled Patrick Ball in its fall 2016 issue of the alumni magazine. Here’s an excerpt:
Ball believes doing this laborious, difficult work makes the world a more just place because it leads to accountability.
âMy part is a specific, narrow piece, which just happens to fit with the skills I have,â he says. âI donât think that what we do is in any way the best or most important part of human rights activism. Sometimes, we are just a footnoteâbut we are a really good footnote.â

Using Data and Statistics to Bring Down Dictators
In this story, Guerrini discusses the impact of HRDAGâs work in Guatemala, especially the trials of General JosĂ© EfraĂn RĂos Montt and Colonel HĂ©ctor Bol de la Cruz, as well as work in El Salvador, Syria, Kosovo, and Timor-Leste. Multiple systems estimation and the perils of using raw data to draw conclusions are also addressed.
Megan Price and Patrick Ball are quoted, especially in regard to how to use raw data.
âFrom our perspective,â Price says, âthe solution to that is both to stay very close to the data, to be very conservative in your interpretation of it and to be very clear about where the data came from, how it was collected, what its limitations might be, and to a certain extent to be skeptical about it, to ask yourself questions like, âWhat is missing from this data?â and âHow might that missing information change these conclusions that Iâm trying to draw?ââ
