Some important questions that I wanted to discuss to get a better understanding of the dataset are
- What is the age distribution of individuals involved in these incidents?
- Are there any notable patterns in urban vs. rural areas?
- Are there any patterns in weapon types across different demographic groups?
- Is there any correlation between race and the type of weapon involved?
- Is there any relationship between body camera usage and specific police departments? What percentage of incidents had body cameras present?
The dataset poses interesting issues on whether there are temporal patterns in the number of events over different seasons or months, whether certain jurisdictions exhibit greater rates of particular incident kinds, and the relationship between body camera usage and incident outcomes.
