The End of the Age of Innocence

Modelling the Age of Victim's of Lethal Force Through Regression

Abstract

In recent years the police in the US have come under fire. The public is quite vocal in questioning their ethics. One claim that is made is that young Black men are often the target of lethal force. We will take and exploratory look at instance of lethal force in the US to see if the age of the victim can be modelled using variables related to the event and the city that it took place in.
