- Completed the programming part of the project for problem statement “A Racial Disparity in Police Shootings Across US Counties.”
- Racial Disparity in this project is defined as a race has more share in shooting as compared to the county population.
- I have found Baltimore, Cook, Fulton counties where Black race has face continuous disparity in shooting throughout the data being recorded 2015-2023.
- Despite being may be 1/3rd of the population, they were among the majority or sometimes the only people being shot by police.
- I made another analysis and find out counties where at least 2 races have faced disparity for at least 6 years, and I found the following results.
- Orange- B, H
- El Paso- B, W
- Miami Dade- B, W
- Maricopa- B, N
- San Bernardino- B, W
- Alameda- B, H
All the above analysis are dynamic, and we can find the counties where a continuous disparity was observed within a certain time period i.e., 2020-2024, 2015-2019.
Also, we can find counties where multiple races have face disparity in a non-continuous manner.
