Police Diversity to Prevent Violence - Does it work?
Roman Rivera (PhD researcher in the Department of Economics at Columbia University)

In this session of the CIVICA Data Science Seminar Series, Roman Rivera discusses the role of officer race and gender in Police-Civilian interactions in Chicago. Roman attempts to answer the question of whether increasing diversity in the police force is a good deterrence against the potential violent use of force by law enforcement.
