Data
Replication data for most of my published work is linked directly from the publisher's website. Please get in touch if you have trouble finding something you're looking for.
Data from Kennedy, Brandy, Adam Butz, Nazita Lajevardi, and Matthew Nanes (2017), Race and Representative Bureaucracy in American Policing:
See the codebook for explanation of variable names and codings.
If you use the data, please cite as: Kennedy, Brandy A., Adam M. Butz, Nazita Lajevardi, and Matthew J. Nanes. “Race and Representative Bureaucracy in American Policing.” Palgrave Pivot, 2017.
Note that the data related to “deaths due to legal intervention” (Tables 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6) is embargoed under privacy requirements imposed by CDC and is not included in the files posted here. Some, but not all, of this data is publicly available and can be found elsewhere online (search for “multiple mortality”). If you need these variables for replication purposes only, please contact me.
