Use of Force by Individual Gender and Race

Varying Details About Force Used on Individuals

In the following sections, we highlight the amount of force used against black people in New Orleans. Much of our analysis shows that black people (excluding other people of color) in New Orleans experience, by a large margin, the majority of force used by the NOPD. Therefore, it is clearest to present findings in only two race-based categories: black people, and non-black people (Native American, White, Hispanic, Asian, and all other races) than it would be to give data for each individual race.

It should be noted that black people + non-black people is always equal to 100%. When reading a graph that shows what percentage of force is used against black people, the reader may calculate the amount of force used against non-black people by subtracting from 100%.
