“Informants in other studies said that police were outsiders to the situation (Setrana and Kyei 2021), favored herders (Yembilah and Grant 2014b), took both cash and in-kind bribes (Benjaminsen et al 2009, Vahyala 2021), were slow to respond to conflicts (Kugbega and Aboagye 2021), and often failed to reconcile conflict parties (Setrana and Kyei 2021).”

“So not only do disputants leverage their bargaining and personal power to influence the dialogue, in the context of the processual approach to conflict development (Moritz 2010), it shows how gentle moves elicit gentle responses, and how territoriality or non-territoriality can be non-acrimonious.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
