Study: Black Officers More Likely than White Officers to Shoot Suspects
A new study by John R. Lott, Jr. and Carlisle E. Moody shows that black crime suspects are more likely to be shot by black cops than by white cops.
Lott is president of Crime Prevention Research Center and Moody is a professor of economics at William and Mary.
In conducting the study, Lott and Moody looked at “2,699 observations of police killings from over 1,500 cities in the United States from 2013 to 2015.”
[...]
The findings?
Cities experiencing police homicides have higher than average violent crime rates (578 violent crimes per 100,000 compared to 368 for the U.S. as a whole.) and violent crime rates are higher in cities where black suspects were killed (758) compared to cities in which white suspects were killed (480). The same is true for the subcategories of violent crime. The murder rate is particularly high in cities where blacks were killed by police (11.2) compared to cities in which white suspects were killed (4.6). Young black men represent a greater proportion of the population in cities that experience police killings of blacks (3.5%) compared to cities where whites were killed (1.4%). The proportion of young white men in the population is relatively constant across all cities, with an average of 5.4%.
