hover over dots to see victim information, hover over counties to see population information
population count is represented by opacity level (more transparent for fewer people)
1these maps were originally titled, 'victims of police shootings in the US', however, in a small number of cases, victims were killed by other means (e.g. hit by car)
victims killed by police 1/1/2013 - 3/27/2018, from the Mapping Police Violence project
US population data from the US Census, American FactFinder 2016
A few notes:
Police are charged and sentenced in less than 2% of deaths.
Women compose just 5.7% of all fatal police violence victims, but the officers who shot women were charged and sentenced 18.1% of the time.
