When Peyton Gillespie began working on a research project through Ball State University\u2019s Teacher-Scholar Program, she didn\u2019t expect to find herself immersed in some of the most emotionally intense and policy-relevant criminal justice work happening on campus. Alongside Dr. Indigo Koslicki, a professor of criminal justice and an expert in policing, Gillespie helped create one of the most comprehensive datasets ever compiled on fatal police pursuits in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no national reporting system for police-involved deaths\u2014nothing you can just download from the Department of Justice,\u201d Dr. Koslicki explains. \u201cSo we built it ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In an era where public scrutiny of policing practices continues to grow, a new research article submitted for peer review, composed by Dr. Indigo Koslicki and student researcher Peyton Gillespie, offers a timely and essential contribution to the conversation surrounding law enforcement vehicle pursuits. Together, they are challenging assumptions, identifying dangerous patterns, and advocating for data-driven policy reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Problem: Chases That Kill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pursuits are often dramatized in media- compelling, fast-paced, and prolific. But behind the scenes, they frequently end in tragedy. The study, Fatal Outcomes of Police Pursuits<\/em>, provides a comprehensive national analysis of 2,033 police pursuit-related fatalities in the United States from 2019 to 2021. According to the research, over 2,000 individuals died in police pursuits, and a shocking number of these deaths involved people who weren\u2019t even driving the car, including passengers, pedestrians, or bystanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSome of the most heartbreaking cases were kids, elderly folks, or completely uninvolved civilians,\u201d noted Gillespie. \u201cAnd in many cases, the original reason for the chase was something as minor as a traffic violation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Their statistical analysis reveals that lower-level offenses such as misdemeanors are significantly more likely to result in passenger fatalities, suggesting that police may pursue even minor infractions with disproportionately deadly consequences for non-suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Research: Building the Nation\u2019s First Comprehensive Database On Fatal Police Pursuits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because the federal government does not mandate that police departments report fatal pursuits, Gillespie and Koslicki had to draw from multiple sources, including crowdsourced databases, government data, and news archives or obituaries, in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI had to read every case. It was overwhelming. Every row in that spreadsheet represents a person who died. It changes how you see the world,\u201d shared Gillespie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gillespie used news archives to verify the victims’ identities of fatal police pursuits and compared the variables in each case to data from Fatal Encounters, Mapping Police Violence, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Gillespie was able to analyze these cases and identify whether the victim was a driver, passenger, or bystander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What They Found: Disproportion and Disregard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the team’s key findings is that low-level offenses, like traffic citations or suspected misdemeanors, are disproportionately likely to end in fatal outcomes for passengers.  The research also reveals significant racial disparities. Black and Latino individuals were significantly more likely to die as passengers than as drivers or pedestrians. Furthermore, Latino victims were almost twice as likely to be pedestrians killed during a pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their first peer-reviewed paper, currently under revision, examines whether the nature of the suspected crime influences who dies in a pursuit. The results are sobering. These findings highlight a troubling pattern: people of color are disproportionately the collateral damage in police vehicle pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is some scholarly argument to not record race when compiling across crowdsourced databases, since sometimes officers mistake a driver\u2019s race. However, \u201ceven when race isn\u2019t clearly known, colorism plays a role,\u201d Dr. Koslicki notes, \u201cPolice often make decisions based on visual cues that have real-world consequences.\u201d This database, therefore, collects race as reported by officers to draw attention to the systemic disparities that still exist in many police practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research findings, which will be submitted as a second manuscript to Criminology<\/em>, a highly ranked journal in the field, also support broader theories in criminology, including the racial threat hypothesis, which suggests that racial and ethnic minorities face disproportionate state control in predominantly white areas, especially when their population is growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Policy Gaps: A Call for Transparency<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the danger and frequency of pursuits, many local agencies lack formal policies or keep them vague. Gillespie, Dr. Koslicki, and another Teacher-Scholar student, Autumn Taylor, submitted numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, but most were overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThat’s a big issue, too. A lot of researchers and members of the public don’t even know if their local law enforcement agency has a policy or not, because they’re not transparent, and we do have open records requests that you can do, but a lot of times, they just get ignored,\u201d explained Dr. Koslicki.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Autumn Taylor presented research in the 2024 Student Symposium that showed that only 12.5% of public records requests were actually answered by law enforcement agencies involved in fatal pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their research aims to advocate for a national, mandatory reporting system for all pursuit-related incidents, fatal or otherwise. They also note the lack of a national standard for body camera use and the wide variation in when and how footage is recorded or released, which causes inconsistent or incomplete data records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Real-World Impact: Local Action, National Implications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Behind the numbers are names, and that weight isn\u2019t lost on the researchers. \u201cEvery case is a person. Every person has a network mourning them,\u201d Dr. Koslicki reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gillespie and Koslicki aim to utilize their research to inspire local change, beginning with the Muncie Police Department, where two fatal pursuits occurred during the time of this research study. Their research advocates for the use of non-lethal alternatives such as GPS tagging, license plate readers, and automatic citation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis is low-hanging fruit,\u201d says Dr. Koslicki, \u201cWe have GPS trackers, license plate readers, and drone technology. Pursuits aren\u2019t always necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

They plan to present their findings to local leaders and advocate for new policies aligned with Department of Justice recommendations, which limit chases to violent felony suspects only. Additionally, the study urges law enforcement to end pretextual traffic stops and implement racially unbiased policies to curb the over-policing of marginalized communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Human Cost of Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the numbers, the emotional toll on the researchers is significant. \u201cI had to find hobbies outside criminal justice,\u201d Gillespie admits. \u201cIt\u2019s heavy. Sometimes it\u2019s really demoralizing. You open this massive spreadsheet, and every line is someone who\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the work has inspired her to pursue a career in criminal justice research. She\u2019s now an intern at the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and hopes to continue working on justice-focused data projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

 \u201cI’m going to admit, when I signed up for the Teacher-Scholar program, it wasn’t because I wanted to do research. It was to add that to my resume for grad school, but at some point, I fell in love with it,\u201d said Gillespie. She\u2019s currently planning to work for a federal research agency to begin making changes at the federal level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Next: From Pursuits to Policy Reform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond publishing, the team hopes to eventually release the cleaned dataset to the public, empowering journalists, advocates, and other scholars. \u201cIf our government won\u2019t be transparent, then it\u2019s up to researchers to make these truths visible,\u201d Dr. Koslicki said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also eyeing new projects that explore the intersection of race, neighborhood context, and police decision-making, with future papers focusing on the post-George Floyd movement and the influence of racial threat dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research doesn\u2019t stop here. Gillespie and Koslicki are already working on a second paper exploring how racial demographics and neighborhood conditions influence pursuit outcomes. They also hope to provide the Muncie Police Department with their cleaned dataset to inspire policy change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe hope to present our findings to Muncie Police and push for reform\u2014start small and local, and work outward,\u201d Gillespie added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
