In this assignment, you will determine an appropriate study population, sampling strategy, sampling technique, and resulting sample for a given scenario. Researchers propose to evaluate the relationship between use of excessive force and body cameras for law enforcement officers in a Midwestern city.

They hypothesize that officers wearing body cameras are less likely to use excessive force while making an arrest.

1. What would be the study population?

2. Based on the study population, what would be an appropriate sampling strategy?

[ ] probability [ ] non-probability

3. Justify why they would use this sampling strategy.

4. Based on the sampling strategy selected in #2, identify one sampling technique that they could use.

5. Justify why they might utilize this sampling technique.

6. Based on your responses to questions 1 - 5, describe the resulting sample of subjects.
