new paper with @mhEspo and @hedwig_lee in @AMJPublicHealth : we use data from @fatalencounters to produce estimates of men's risk of being killed by police by race/ethnicity and county. Police kill about 3 men per day in the US. ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJ…
Police kill between 1.9 and 2.4 Black men per 100,000 people per year, between 0.8 and 1.2 Latino men per 100,000 per year, and between 0.6 and 0.7 white men per year. Black men are at higher risk of being killed by police in all regions and metro types
