In the fields of health, social, and behavioral sciences, most research is focused on understanding what causes something to happen rather than just identifying patterns of association. This article discusses how causal inference can be utilized to assess factors impacting the use of force by police officers, while rigorously accounting for challenges in the collection of policing data. The data sources used in these analyses are outlined. The article presents a key challenge that researchers typically possess only a small portion of the data needed to reliably estimate the causal quantities of interest. The article concludes with some indications as potential future directions for research in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
