我们使用与警察有关的死亡数据来估计美国不同社会群体因警察使用武力而死亡的风险是如何变化的。我们根据种族和性别来估计被警察杀害的终生和年龄风险。我们还提供了警察使用武力造成的死亡在所有死亡中所占比例的估计数。我们发现，非洲裔美国人、美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民以及拉丁裔男性一生中被警察杀害的风险高于白人同龄人。我们发现，拉丁裔女性和亚洲/太平洋岛民男性和女性被警察杀害的风险低于白人同龄人。黑人男性的风险最高，他们（以目前的风险水平）一生中被警察杀死的几率约为千分之一。男性一生中被警察杀死的平均几率约为1 / 2000，女性约为1 / 33000。所有人群的风险高峰都在20岁到35岁之间。对于有色人种的年轻人来说，警察使用武力是导致死亡的主要原因之一。
We use data on police-involved deaths to estimate how the risk of being killed by police use of force in the United States varies across social groups. We estimate the lifetime and age-specific risks of being killed by police by race and sex. We also provide estimates of the proportion of all deaths accounted for by police use of force. We find that African American men and women, American Indian/Alaska Native men and women, and Latino men face higher lifetime risk of being killed by police than do their white peers. We find that Latina women and Asian/Pacific Islander men and women face lower risk of being killed by police than do their white peers. Risk is highest for black men, who ( at current levels of risk) face about a 1 in 1,000 chance of being killed by police over the life course. The average lifetime odds of being killed by police are about 1 in 2,000 for men and about 1 in 33,000 for women. Risk peaks between the ages of 20 y and 35 y for all groups. For young men of color, police use of force is among the leading causes of death.
