Hello all,

This week in class we looked through a data set from the Washington Post about deathly police shootings. Upon the first initial analysis my partner Lavanya and I organized the data by gender and immediately noticed that out of the 10,389 shootings only 4.4% of those were women. In class we made other observations such as how there was missing data and that it seemed like TX and CA had the most data. We also asked ourselves how old was the youngest victims were amongst the women and male victims. This past week while reviewing the data alone I noticed that out of the 10,389 shootings only 1,792 were recorded by police body cameras. With a quick custom short I was able to notice that none of those shootings recorded via body cams were associated with women.
