Chicago Unbound contains the scholarship of the University of Chicago Law School community.
As national concern over police misconduct and violence has grown over the last decade, scholars have increasingly looked to data to better understand the complex issues at play and to examine potential reforms. Many Law School professors are leaders in this work—fighting for access to records, explaining the limitations of policing data, and using empirical research to explore patterns in police behavior, complaints, discipline, intervention, and much more.
Adam Chilton, the Howard G. Krane Professor of Law, recently released a book, Trial by Numbers: A Lawyer’s Guide to Statistical Evidence, which he coauthored with Kyle Rozema, a law professor at Northwestern University.
