Abstract

Abstract Recent high profile killings of citizens at the hands of law enforcement have drawn attention to questions about the determinants of these violent encounters. The literature is replete with studies focused on individual characteristics and situational exigencies. This paper takes a structural approach to assess alternative explanations. Results show that race, criminal violence, and general conditions of economic inequality are strong predictors of police killings of citizens across 3,081 US counties. The empirical findings from this research provide a broad foundation for conceptualizing a structural model of police lethal violence against citizens.
