Uncovering Police Violence in Chicago: A collaboration between HRDAG and Invisible Institute

In this blogpost, and four more to follow, I’ll answer both conceptual and practical questions about this important method. (In posts to follow, questions that refer to specific statistical procedures or debates will be marked, "In depth.") (more…)
