Police killings are the sixth-leading cause of death among men of all races ages 25-29, according to a study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences.
Young American men are at a high risk of being killed by a police officer, according to a recent study.
According to Frank Edwards, lead researcher of the study and an assistant professor at the School of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, the numbers “may be an undercount.” “Police departments have very little incentive to record the number of deaths, nor are they mandated to do so,” Edwards said.
