episummer Epidemiology of Police Violence Course Description The course provides a broad overview of police violence in the United States through the lens of epidemiology. It focuses on (1) the limitations of public health data collection on killings and injuries inflicted by police, (2) the ways in which limits to epidemiologic knowledge can lead to a lack of accountability for police violence, and (3) the influence of police violence on population health and health inequities. Knowledge gained from the course will also be applicable to other areas of study such as injury epidemiology, legal epidemiology, and measurement of health inequalities.
