Fatal Encounters - Fatal Encounters
Users of this website should be aware that I don’t do much with the website. It’s only a delivery method for the data on the Google Spreadsheet that’s linked to below.
The data is available for download right here. Just go under File > Download as > pick a format. We recommend downloading as csv. It wouldn’t hurt any to read our caveats here. Here is a web-based version of the Google sheet, but be aware, it takes a very long time to load. A quick word about the data: At over 26,000 records, it’s tempting to consider this a comprehensive dataset. It’s not. While we completed the systematic states-by-year searches of the United States on November 3, 2017, we know we’ve missed some. This set was never intended to do anything except identify the names, demographic information, dates and locales of the dead and to give us direction for categories that needed further research. It is our intention to go deeper in areas we’ve identified, but this is still a first draft and should be recognized as such. The next upgrade will include imputed race and ORI numbers, and we’ll continue to do the weekly updates (at minimum).
