title: 'streetlamp: Panel Econometrics for the Effect of Police Stop and Search on
  Recorded Crime'
version: 0.2.0
abstract: 'Builds an area-by-month panel of recorded crime in England and Wales from
  the data.police.uk bulk archive <https://data.police.uk/data/archive/>, attaches
  stop and search intensity as a treatment variable, and provides a panel-econometrics
  toolkit for evaluating policing interventions: two-way fixed effects, event studies,
  difference-in-differences with staggered adoption, synthetic control, spatial spillover
  and displacement models, and stop-crime elasticities by offence type. Area boundaries
  are read from the Office for National Statistics Open Geography Portal <https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/>,
  Census 2021 population from the ''Nomis'' API <https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/api/v01/help>,
  and notes of re-supplied and missing force data from the data.police.uk change log
  <https://data.police.uk/changelog/>. Every panel carries a contract recording provenance,
  coverage, geography vintage and treatment definition; every estimator names its
  identifying assumption and ships with a placebo or pre-trend diagnostic.'
