Police Officer Characteristics and the Likelihood of Using Deadly Force

April 2008

Male officers were more likely to shoot than female officers, and college-educated officers were less likely to be involved in shootings than officers with no college education. Risk of officer-involved shooting was reduced as the officer aged.

White, non-Hispanic officers were more likely to shoot than Hispanic officers; however, there was no significant difference between Hispanic and Black officers.

That’s the great thing about owning academia: when the libtards need a study to “prove” something, they can always find—or fund—one.
