520 |a Although advocates have long been calling for comprehensive databases of deadly force by police, relatively little progress has been made. Given this, various bodies have stepped in to fill this gap (for example, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). While these efforts have been useful in providing the public with important information about fatal police shootings, existing databases are limited in various ways, especially when used for research purposes. For example, they exclude most police shootings and present a relatively small, non-random sample of situations where an officer discharges their firearm. Evidence suggests that fatal police shootings are not evenly distributed across jurisdictions, but the likelihood of mortality is explained by a range of factors, such as proximity to trauma centres, which leads to geographic variations in fatal shootings. Despite these types of limitations, researchers use these databases to study and make statements about police shootings, including how various reform efforts have influenced lethal force by police. The chapter discusses some of the limitations associated with existing deadly force databases and describes their implications for use-of-force research. Recommendations are presented for researchers who choose to use these sorts of databases for research. In the final section of the chapter, calls for a concerted effort to develop more comprehensive use-of-force databases and describes what they should include. Capturing all police shootings regardless of outcome, would provide a better understanding of the number of times officers discharge their firearm, and also minimize the impact of other limitations that characterize current deadly force databases.
