目标.更新以前的检查种族/民族的差异，在使用致命武力的美国police. Methods。我检查了2010年至2014年5年期间被指定为“法律的干预”（国际疾病分类，第10次修订，外部伤害原因代码Y35.0-Y35.7，不包括Y35.5 [法律的执行]）的潜在原因的死亡的在线国家生命统计数据。2010年至2014年，死亡证明确定了2285例法律的干预死亡（每年每百万人口1.5例）。在占死亡人数96%的10岁或以上男性中，非西班牙裔黑人和西班牙裔个体的死亡率分别是白色个体的2.8倍和1.7倍。结论。在美国，法律的干预死亡中存在的巨大种族/民族差异仍然是一个持续存在的问题。
Objectives. To update previous examinations of racial/ethnic disparities in the use of lethal force by US police.Methods. I examined online national vital statistics data for deaths assigned an underlying cause of "legal intervention" (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, external-cause-of-injury codes Y35.0-Y35.7, excluding Y35.5 [legal execution]) for the 5-year period 2010 to 2014.Results. Death certificates identified 2285 legal intervention deaths (1.5 per million population per year) from 2010 to 2014. Among males aged 10 years or older, who represented 96% of these deaths, the mortality rate among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals was 2.8 and 1.7 times higher, respectively, than that among White individuals.Conclusions. Substantial racial/ethnic disparities in legal intervention deaths remain an ongoing problem in the United States.
