I don't typically put too much thought into these updates, but this one I couldn't help but think about exactly this. I would say a majority of players are probably the total crazy people, or ones that don't 100% follow the rules. The two universities better have a pretty good system to remove that bad data, or the entire study quite honestly is going to be a pile of garbage and a waste of time.
 
 

Imagine researchers discussing this out loud and using that name. 😂

I agree with you on this. I had issues with survey also. Some of the answers to those questions were situational dependent and not a black and white text book issue. I work public safety and I am not sure this is a good way to gather research to dictate training for law enforcement. I would suggest maybe doing a lot of time riding with law enforcement in multiple settings and types of departments would be better. Participating in their shoot/no shoot training and so on. Even playing this game as real as possible has its flaws. Especially since each scenario is pre-programmed. The way people act in real life vs. programmed in a game are not alike. The variables in real life are never ending. Just my take on it. 

Thats what I thought too. At the end of the day, this is just a mod for a video game with little to no repercussions. It doesn't exactly create the best scenario for a Research Project on how/why Law Enforcement deal with the situations the way they do.

Post your log in the support forums. Try going into the Plugins folder and renaming LSPDFR to _LSPDFR. If you dont get many crashes, the issue isnt LSPDFR but one of the plugins.

 
 
The only issue with this, and adding on to what Rich said, would be that the Control Group would have to be relatively large. If the data being collected for the Research Project was too small, it would be very difficult to draw any kind of Final Result from the Hypothesis of this project. I think a Control Group of at least 50 and at most 150 would be ideal to reflect variety in the way people respond to the scenario.

Thinking more about this, from a public relations standpoint, it is a beautiful idea.  Hell, it's something that even I would have to think about if someone reached out to Bejoljo's server. The problem is the way they're going about it.
.
Advice for the future if something like this ever comes back up: Realistically, they should have made the newest LSPDFR version temporarily restricted to only certain people - preferably legit players -  and those people's stats would then be used.  Controlled environments are best for things like this.
