Hi scientists, in light of widespread concerns about police behavior, I’m interested in exploring the data referenced in several papers exploring “use of force” (e.g. The Effect of Higher Education on Police Behavior by Rydberg and Terrill). I think the encounter-level data is ICPSR3160.DS003 but please correct me if you think otherwise.
As far as I can tell, the data is secured at the ICPSR as “restricted data”. *I totally understand that some anonymization is needed to protect the officers*, but does anyone have an idea of how to access this encounter-level data? The project authors apparently didn’t post an anonymized version of the data. I don’t have a commission at a university nor a doctorate, so apparently I’m not eligible to Apply for Restricted Data…
