Sometimes one directly results in the other: 1 in 6 murders of a police officer result in the justifiable killing of themurderer. (Still, of all the justifiable homicides by police only about 3% occur in connection with the murder of a police officer.) The two also sharedemographic similarities. For example, almost all the felons justifiably killed by police (98%) and almost all of the felons who murdered a police officer (97%) are males; in both types of homicidejust over half of the felons are ages 18 to 30; and in both types just over half of the felons are white.The first section of the report deals with the justifiable homicide of felons by police; the second, with the murder of police officers by felons. Together, the two types account for around 2% of all intentional killings in the United States.The types of homicide not covered in this report are: negligent homicides; justifiable homicides by private citizens; and murders in which the victim issomeone other than an officer slain in the line of duty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Office of Justice Programs,Bureau of Justice Statistics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1537161954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781537161952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.12d","brand":"Office of Justice Programs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623197421823,"sku":"9781537161952","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/policing-and-homicide-1976-98-office-of-justice-programs-9781537161952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
