Data Sources:
- Police Killings by Country from World Population Review: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/police-killings-by-country
- Violent Crime Statistics by Country from World Population Review: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/violent-crime-rates-by-country
Tools Used:
- Everyone's Favorite - Google Sheets and then Google Drawings for stuff on top.
​
Notes:
- I choose 1 violent crime metric (homicide) rather than the composite of all because it was not clear whether or not the reportings were collectively exhaustive or not (i.e. can an incident count as a robbery AND a homicide). I leave the other crime statistics as an exercise to the reader.
- The Data sources for each are honestly not great - World Population Review data has numbers for widely different years for each element which means there is absolutely a need to regularly collect this data to have the most up to date. I wanted to use all OECD countries but the selection here is those who actually had data for Police Killings (not a lot of countries seem to report this or at least they are not present in the world population review data).
- Does this look ugly? Yes - but I saw that # police killings post and wanted to quick respond with something that hopefully addressed questions thrown at the OP of that other post.

your choice of axes units is "honestly not great" plot it with the same units next time

"Honestly not great" or Intended to be crazy misleading because OP has an agenda?
