Stanford Computational Policy Lab

At the Stanford Computational Policy Lab, we publish academic papers and general-interest pieces on a variety of issue at the nexus of public policy, computer science, and statistics.

We've obtained millions of law enforcement records by filing hundreds of public records requests in jurisdictions across the United States. Requesting public records is an often confusing and frustrating undertaking. To help others navigate this process, we've put together a short guide to help you get the information you’re entitled to.
