This is a general repository for all presentable files conducting analysis of TJI-related data. This is not a place for preprocessing steps (see tji/data-processing). All data used for analysis should be read directly from data.world (see TJI's data.world account here).
If you are not a coder, feel free to skim the analyses here for their summaries (at the top) and charts (embedded - skim for them). You can also browse the plots/ directory to jump right into the pile of results.
- Who makes up the Texas police force?
- Summary of civilians shot by police
- Summary of police shot by civilians
- Summary of deaths in custody
- How do police die in the line of duty?
- Where do shootings happen?
- Have shootings increased over time?
- What kinds of officers are involved in shootings?
- What determines if a civilian will survive a shooting?
- See our data-processing github repository for detailed descriptions of all datasets TJI uses, plus the code we use in data wrangling and cleaning.
- See our data.world repository for the actual datasets, which are distributed across several data.world projects (Officer Involved Shootings | Custodial Deaths | Other Data)
If you are a coder, feel free to reproduce and alter the code for your own theories. If you identify bugs or concerns with our work, please file an issue so we can ensure that our results our accurate.
To conduct your own analysis, clone the analyses/TJI_ANALYSIS_TEMPLATE.ipynb file and work from there.
