Abstract: One in 1800 Indigenous men in the United States will die from fatal police violence if current rates hold. We find that this risk is overwhelmingly concentrated in and around reservations, where structural disinvestment and unique policing models appear to put Indigenous peoples in harm’s way. We also show that the types of officers responsible for fatal police violence in these areas (mostly federal, state, and tribal) differ dramatically from those of responsible officers elsewhere (mostly municipal and county), as do the reasons police give for stops in and around reservations. We thus quantitatively demonstrate the geographic and policy areas where police violence interventions are most needed to protect Indigenous communities.
