The results revealed a similar level of force used by male and female officers, but there…
The geographic concentration of use of force incidents at subway stations mimics the law of crime concentration bandwidths
The Law of Crime Concentration states that a small percent of microplaces will account for large portions of crime. In this research, we demonstrate that police use of force incidents likewise occur at a small percentage of subway stations in Philadelphia, a category of ‘risky facilities’, where crime concentration is also expected. Those percentages mimic the bandwidths of the Law of Crime Concentration. We sketch pertinent data collection needs…
