It's research, are we not allowed to research Police and report on the results? That stance seems anti science to me...

>Large-scale policing data is vital for detecting inequity in police behavior and policing algorithms.

First sentence of the abstract. Activist research.

So, it's research into a topic you don't think should be researched?

Do you have any problems with the methodology or conclusions? Like, science can still be science even if it's pursued in the name of social justice. If they are cooking the books, then that's one thing, but if they are making a hypothesis, gathering data, and evaluating that hypothesis fairly using real data, then it's just science.

Do you disagree with the statement?
