Introduction

This project is aimed to find a relationship between Baltimore Police Department's use of force to contain a situation and people's faith in local city government. It was inspired by a study in 2014 done by faculty from UC Berkeley and Yale who found a positive correlation between NYPD's stop and frisk practices and the likelihood of calling 311 services.
