The Justice Study
|
ABOUT
After accompanying the Frisco5 in a Hunger Strike protesting police killings in San Francisco, physicians and researchers of the Do No Harm Coalition were asked by community members of the Justice 4 Mario Woods Coalition to create a research project to investigate the health outcomes in communities where there is police violence and no justice. The research team from UCSF and Santa Clara University developed The Justice Study with community direction and launched the national survey in March. The scope of the study investigates all law enforcement violence—from police to ICE to FBI. We are currently working on data analysis. The study can be triggering for some people. Here is a list of resources and organizations if you need someone to talk to. |
