Review 2 – Creating some structure
Hello, It’s the second review and there have been some new developments.
I have been asking random questions along with other classmates, some of things which may or may not have any abnormal activity or even have enough numbers to be considered linked to the police killings. There’s only one way to find out.
I have put together a bunch of questions and classified them by group, the point of this is to see how many answers I can get to those questions and hopefully that can point me in the right direction to figuring one major question of “What is responsible for these killings or somewhat has a positive or negative impact on them?”
my classifications look like this:
* Any reason to believe the police officers felt threatened?
* How many cases were there of no threat on paper
* What police station did this situation occur most
* What was the situation with the mentally ill that made them a threat?
* percentage of men to women killed that were mentally ill
* Police station effect
* What police stations accounted for most of the shootings (counties)
* How many police stations are around each police station?
* What percentage of the victims were armed
* What police stations have access to body cams (are they using it?)
* Population effect
* what was the population of people in the areas with high shootings compared to the are with low shootings
* How is the percentage of races shot changing over time
* What counties are body cams used more or less(which ever stands out) (area with High vs area with low)
*Age effect
* Age group of the race shot majorly in the different areas (how it has changed over time)
* race of Age group shot the most
* What situation has occurred the most (mentally ill, armed, fled) – Maybe there might be another factor affecting the cases that doesn’t normally stand out.
