Dear colleagues,

The National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) will be hosting an in-person meeting on “Statistical Challenges in the Analysis of Police Use of Force” that may be of interest to many here. We have funding to assist with student and early-career participation.

The forum will be held from November 9-10, 2023 at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. It aims to bring together researchers that are both established and new in this important area of study. Researchers from statistics, criminology, political science, sociology, and other fields will be in attendance.

The forum will be hosted as a two-day, in-person workshop to overview research in this area and facilitate collaborations that advance statistical methodology for analyzing police use of force. The breakout sessions are meant to develop research groups on focused topics within the broader domain. After the workshop, we aim to publish a joint paper laying out an agenda for the field, as well as for each working group to produce additional manuscripts on specific topics.
