We look at 7 years of firearm assaults on US police officers and find that proximity to trauma care is not significantly associated with odds of survival.

The 4 inaugural NIJ LEADS Academics review our first year in the program working with the LEADS Scholars.

Session three of this webinar series was held on Wednesday, December 1, at 1:00 p.m., ET, and focused on innovative methods to engage with community partners to understand issues and work together to reduce crime and protect communities. The session featured a unique panel of law enforcement leaders and interviews with nationally recognized National College Athletic Association (NCAA) coaches who have worked to form innovative partnerships between local police officers and student athletes.

We compile nonfatal police shooting data from four states and find that some racial disparities are larger than previously thought.

Using NIBRS data, we show domestic incidents are _not_ more likely to involve officers being assaulted or injured

We examine the effect of COVID-19 on domestic violence, as measured by daily calls to 911 and Victim Service Agencies’ emergency hotlines.

Earlier today I was reminded of some data I’m sitting on that my colleagues and I never published anywhere. This comes from a web-based survey of police officers at a large, southern agency that we administered in 2018. The response rate was 31%. So we asked officers to consider eight ideas that “have been proposed as ways to improve policing” and indicate the extent they supported or opposed each. We listed a hodgepodge of “reforms” including some that would (1) expand police authority, (2) restrict police authority, or (3) increase citizen oversight.
