Question:

5.4. In response to public perceptions that the police in Riverside City were too prone to use physical force on suspects, a study was commissioned to examine the factors related to when police did use physical force. After a year of data collection, the researchers classified police use of force into the following three categories: None, Mild restraint, and Complete restraint. The ordinal logistic regression model of only demographic characteristics produced the following results: INDEPENDENT VARIABLE b Age of officer (years) 0.02 Sex of officer (1 ¼ male, 0 ¼ female) 0.18 Race of officer (1 ¼ white, 0 ¼ nonwhite) 0.13 Age of suspect (years) 0.03 Sex of suspect (1 ¼ male, 0 ¼ female) 0.33 Race of suspect (1 ¼ white, 0 ¼ nonwhite) 0.11 Calculate the odds ratio for each coefficient, and explain what each odds ratio means.
