Critiquing Police Brutality Data

The participants of the study are a result of a nationwide surveys about police brutality and public opinion on it. The section begins by explaining their reasoning for their methods and measures and comparing it to other researchers methods. It is organized by first explaining, giving comprehensive results about the surveys and then going over the possible reasons for the data. The general consensus of survey takers is that police are justified in using physical violence if they have been threatened or battered. The other emerging theme seems to be that the people who said the police are generally right in instances of police using force were moderate in their economic position, political views and moderate confidence in institutions. They use several nationwide surveys to analyze the data. What stands out is that most people have a general trust for police, that is, white people. Inner city citizens tend to have a distrust with the police tactics and motives but that's not an unusual consideration. I don't think it needs to be improved, the findings are solid (nationwide) and the analyzing is very thorough. I would give the researchers an A-.
