Spatial and Temporal Correlates of Specific Cause Mortality

项目摘要。 该项目将利用资源在美国创建两个警察凶杀案数据库(2000-2018) 由致命遭遇项目开发。这些警方凶杀案数据将与几个独特的 公共数据源，收集有关警察部门特征、平民犯罪、 袭击/杀害警察，以及社会人口普查数据。这个国家警察凶杀案数据库 然后可以被项目组和其他研究人员用来测试警察杀人事件的相关性-a 唯一重要的公共卫生问题。该项目还将创建一个对所有项目进行地理编码的GIS数据库 警察凶杀案，以便其他研究人员研究警察凶杀案对 人口健康、健康差距、社区福祉和警察/社区关系。 我们的具体目标如下： 1.完成骨干数据《致命遭遇》的更新、编码、清理和地理编码 (Fe)数据库，该数据库将全面记录2000-2018年间的所有警察杀人案件。 2.组合来自致命遭遇和几个国家/联邦数据源的数据，以创建国家 警察杀人数据库(NPHD)。 A.NPHD将公开提供并广泛传播，以便研究人员能够 测试美国警察杀人的原因。 B.我们将使用NPHD来测试与警察部门政策和 警察凶杀案的背景关联。 3.创建一个地理信息系统数据库，其中包含警察凶杀案的精确地理位置，名为国家警察 凶杀案地理数据库(NPHGD) NPHGD将公开可用并广泛传播，以便具有 地理上可联系的数据可以测试警察杀人案对健康的独立影响 以及福祉和警察/社区关系。

Project Summary. This project will create two police homicide databases in the United States (2000-2018) using resources developed by the Fatal Encounters project. These police homicide data will be merged with several unique public data sources that collect information about police-department characteristics, civilian crime, assaults/killing of police officers, and socio-demographic Census data. This national police homicide database can then be used by the project team and other researchers to test the correlates of police homicides—a uniquely important public health problem. This project will also create a GIS database which geo-codes all police homicides in order for other researchers to study the independent effect of police homicides on population health, health disparities, community well-being, and police/community relations. Our specific aims are as follows: 1. Finalize updating, coding, cleaning, and geo-coding of the backbone data, the Fatal Encounters (FE) database, which will comprehensively document all police homicides from 2000-2018. 2. Combine data from Fatal Encounters and several national/federal data sources to create a National Police Homicide Database (NPHD). a. The NPHD will be made publicly available and disseminated widely so that researchers can test the causes of police homicides in the U.S. b. We will use the NPHD to test unique hypotheses related to police-department-policy and contextual correlates of police homicides. 3. Create a GIS geo-database with precise geo-locations of police homicides, titled the National Police Homicide Geo-Database (NPHGD). The NPHGD will be made publicly available and disseminated widely so that researchers with geographically linkable data can test the independent effects of police homicides on health and well-being and police/community relations.
