Mapping Police Violence

Mapping Police Violence appears in Kyiv brawl: Ukraine’s top general fired as the data source behind Daniel Knowles’s account of police killings. The episode uses its figures to argue that police killings can rise nationally even when murder rates fall.

In the wiki, the project anchors Police Killing Rate Divergence as a data problem. It supports comparisons across Albuquerque, New Mexico, and larger cities, and it helps the source separate police killings from broader violent-crime trends.
