“…The nonrandom assignment to prior stop conditions is a problem common in observational studies (see Berk 2003), and requires the estimation of additional parameters to avoid common selection problems. Following Berk ) and others (Bang & Robins 2005;Indurkhya et al 2006;Rosenbaum & Rubin 1983), we use propensity scores to adjust for this problem.…”

An examination of the influence of street stops on the legal socialization of young men showed an association between the number of police stops they see or experience and a diminished sense of police legitimacy. This association was not primarily a consequence of the number of stops or of the degree of police intrusion during those stops. Rather, the impact of involuntary contact with the police was mediated by evaluations of the fairness of police actions and judgments about whether the police were acting lawfully. Whether the police were viewed as exercising their authority fairly and lawfully shaped the impact of stops on respondent's general judgments about police legitimacy. Fairness and lawfulness judgments, in turn, were influenced by the number of stops and the degree of police intrusion during those stops.Similarly, judgments of justice and lawfulness shaped the estimated influence of judgments of the general character of police behavior in the community on general perceptions of police legitimacy. These results suggest that the widespread use of street stops undermined legitimacy.Lowered legitimacy had an influence on both law abidingness and the willingness to cooperate with legal authorities. The findings show that people were influenced by perceptions of police injustice/illegality.Words: 12,617 1

“…If one can also make the case that the structure of a model is very nearly right, and one has either random sampling or credible-model based sampling [Berk, 2003], conventional ways of representing uncertainty apply. Our suggestions for obtaining useful estimates of the standard errors are then appropriate.…”

“…In particular, confidence intervals and tests no longer have much probative value. Rather, one should develop models that are descriptively informative and relatively simple and that capture in broad-brush strokes the essential features of the empirical world at hand [ Berk, 2003].…”

“…We take the descriptions of the two experiments, including the assumptions about the response schedules and the random errors, as background information. In particular, we take it that Nature generates Y as if by substituting X into (9). Nature proceeds to generate Z as if by substituting X and Y -the same Y that has just been generated from X -into (10).…”

“…The model gives a clearer meaning to this idea, and to the idea of 'stability under intervention'. The parameters in Figure 4, for instance, are defined through the response schedules (9) and (10), separately from the data. These parameters are constant across subjects and levels of treatment (by assumption, of course).…”

Linear Statistical Models for Causation: A Critical Review

We review the basis for inferring causation by means of linear statistical models. Parameters should be stable under interventions, and so should error distributions. There are also statistical conditions that must be satisfied. Stability is difficult to establish a priori , and the statistical conditions are equally problematic. Therefore, causal relationships are seldom to be inferred from a data set by running regressions, unless there is substantial prior knowledge about the mechanisms that generated the data.
