Retirement and death in office of U.S. Supreme Court justices
We construct demographic models of retirement and death in office of U.S. Supreme Court justices, a group that has gained demographic notice, evaded demographic analysis, and is said to diverge from expected retirement patterns.

Using data on every justice from 1789 through 2006, with robust, clus…

Unlike decisions in other large decentralized organizations, a police officer's decision to fire a gun is not easily controlled by top management. The structure of police departments, the nature of the decision to fire a gun, and the pressures on the review of the use of de…
