The site states the most common race and ethnicity to be killed by police is Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, but there’s no further data. When I search outside of the site, I find statistics that lump Asian Americans in with Pacific Islanders. 110 deaths is a very large percentage of a relatively small population.
Does anyone have more information on this statistic?
I have found this paper for 2013–2019: Disaggregating Asian American and Pacific Islander Risk of Fatal Police Violence by Gabriel L. Schwartz and Jaquelyn L. Jahn https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0274745
the mapping police violence site’s methodology page indicates their database is entirely original. So for anything with their data specifically your best bet would be to reach out to them directly
Thanks! I’ll look into it.
