The purpose of this assignment (750 words minimum) is to help you consider issues around the measurement of violence. To examine these issues, investigate one of the crowd-sourced databases on police-involved civilian deaths:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/p…
Critically reflect on the information the archive provides. What does the database do well? What is missing? What kind of conclusions can we feel comfortable drawing from it? In order to give an informed analysis, please download and review the raw data from the database. What variables are provided in the database? What else should be included? Use one or more specific cases contained in the database in order to inform your perspective and highlight any issues you’ve identified. Finally, it is recommended you review at least one article (please provide a link) relying on the data in the archive you chose. Does the article accurately represent what the data can tell us?
