由于缺乏数据，与警察使用致命武力有关的人口和心理因素仍未得到充分探讨。我们通过整合众包和事实核查的致命武力数据库，以及从美国各地2，156，053名居民收集的地理定位的隐性和显性种族偏见的区域人口统计和措施，开发了致命武力的第一个预测模型。结果表明，只有隐含的种族偏见和刻板印象的白色居民，超越主要的人口统计协变量，与更多的致命武力与黑人相对于黑人在人口中的区域基准率。因此，目前的工作提供了致命武力的第一个宏观心理统计模型，表明警察工作的环境与过度使用致命武力有着重要的联系。
Due to a lack of data, the demographic and psychological factors associated with lethal force by police officers have remained insufficiently explored. We develop the first predictive models of lethal force by integrating crowd-sourced and fact-checked lethal force databases with regional demographics and measures of geolocated implicit and explicit racial biases collected from 2,156,053 residents across the United States. Results indicate that only the implicit racial prejudices and stereotypes of White residents, beyond major demographic covariates, are associated with disproportionally more use of lethal force with Blacks relative to regional base rates of Blacks in the population. Thus, the current work provides the first macropsychological statistical models of lethal force, indicating that the context in which police officers work is significantly associated with disproportionate use of lethal force.
