dc.description.abstractThe goal of this paper is to assess whether there is any correlation between police salaries and crime rates. Using public data sources that contain Baltimore Crime Rates and Baltimore Police Department (BPD) salary information from 2011 to 2021, our research uses a variety of techniques to capture and measure any correlation between the two. Based on that correlation, the paper then uses established social theories to make recommendations on how this data can potentially be used by State Leadership. Our initial results show a negative correlation between salary/compensation levels and crime rates.
