Our investigation is currently expanding its focus to encompass long-term trends and regional disparities in police-related fatalities. We are also exploring the interactions between these incidents and broader social issues. We are conducting an analysis of how police-involved deaths have evolved over time, their frequency in different states, and their associations with various factors, such as poverty rates, overall crime rates, and the use of body cameras by police departments.

Our objective is to delve into these intricate connections in order to uncover underlying patterns and correlations that can shed light on the complex dynamics of police encounters and offer insights for more effective policy interventions. To gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing the outcomes of police encounters, we are adopting a comprehensive and nuanced approach.
