I love your idea of sharing research papers and then discussing them. It’s important to bring hard data to the table as much as possible. Plus, academic papers are usually very detailed and rigorous, which is what we need more of in our public discourse. Thank you!
Does the data include the prosecuting attorneys and people responsible for charging and prosecuting criminals? In many cities, the prosecutor is an elected official and not necessarily the same party as the mayor. It makes sense to me that the partisanship of the mayor alone would have little effect on crime rates.
