I am currently in the process of writing a research paper which will most likely grow into my master's thesis, and I desperatly need some help locating the statistical correlation I need. my hypothesis is this: the higher quantity and quality of use-of-force (DT, firearms, etc) training-both in-service and initial-given by a LEA, the lower the incidence of excessive force complaints and arrest related injuries (officer and offender). What I need is any statistics or other research which can address this correlation. I am convinced that there is one, and I am sure most of you would agree with me. Now, I just need some help proving it. If anyone has any information or ideas, please either post them here, or e-mail them to me. Thanks to all of you in advance.
