Click here to read. The databases of police killings contain important demographic information like race, gender, and age. But they do not contain socioeconomic information like education and income. In this paper, Feldman matches 6,451 police killings over the last 5.5 years to the census tract (i.e. neighborhood) where the killing took place. By using the poverty rates of those census tracts, he is able to sort both police killings and populations into five socioeconomic groups ranging from the poorest fifth (poverty rates greater than 23.9 percent) to the least-poor fifth (poverty rates below 5.6 percent).
