Abstract

Research on the future of policing generally ignores the problem of police violence. The author articulates a series of important structural level factors predicted to influence situational variables connected to the type, amount, and severity of police violence in the future. Relationships among the variables are posited, then assembled into a tentative causal model. The author concludes by discussing alternative methodologies for testing propositions from this model.

Keywords: municipal police violence, causal models, variables, alternative methodologies, testing, police science, criminology, lethal force, non-lethal force, future studies
