This is a study of relationships between road traffic collisions and the number
and activities of traffic police.
# Introduction
The objective of this study is to look at the relationships between the
frequency of RTCs in England and Wales and:
* the number of police officers,
* the proportion of those officers allocated primarily to traffic duties, and
* the traffic-related enforcement carried out by those officers, particularly
'fatal four' enforcement (speed, mobile phones, drink-drive and seatbelts).
To do that it will be necessary to control for:
* exposure to accident potential, in the form of vehicle kilometres, and
* police force (as a proxy for force-level and force-area variance).
# Project structure
The file structure of the project loosely follows the [Tier Protocol](https://www.projecttier.org/tier-protocol/specifications/). Guidance
on using Git for version control comes from [Vuorre and Curley (2018)](https://doi.org/10.1177/2515245918754826).
The code is split into separate files according to function:
1. Packages and functions
2. Data cleaning and formating
3. Data analysis
4. Outputs
