Police use of force at street segments: Do street-level characteristics matter?

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2021, vol. 77, issue C

Abstract: Research examining police use of force at micro places appears scant and largely absent from past studies is the consideration of the contextual and ecological dynamics at street segments. Context is a key factor in understanding use of force, but far less is known about whether micro-level attributes contribute to the frequency of force incidents. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effects of street-, and neighborhood-level characteristics on the Prevalence of force incidents.
