New Study on Law Enforcement Related Deaths In Progress
Project Censored at Sonoma State University (SSU) and Media Freedom
Foundation are conducting a study on the commonalities of law
enforcement related deaths in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are
seeking to interview families of people who died in a law enforcement
related incident within the past 15 years. Students from the Spring
2009 SSU Investigative Sociology class will be conducting
confidential one-hour interviews with family members in April. The
purpose of the study is to evaluate support programs for families who
have experienced such a tragedy, and the lowering of the overall
number of law enforcement related deaths.
SSU professors supervising the study include:
Peter Phillips, Sociology Department, and Tryon Woods and Diana Grant
in the Criminal Justice Department.
To arrange a confidential interview or refer a family for contact
call or
