Thesis (Ph.D.)--Brown University, 2003.

This dissertation addresses racial disparities in distribution of homicide and deadly police action. Reducing racial disparities in health is an important public health goal. In 1998 it was estimated that homicide, which disproportionately affects young males, was responsible for 9.7% of the 6.4 years longer that White men live compared to Black men. While health of Hispanic persons is closer to health of White persons the death rate for homicide among Hispanics aged 15 to 34 is higher than among similarly aged Whites.

520 $a This dissertation addresses racial disparities in distribution of homicide and deadly police action. Reducing racial disparities in health is an important public health goal. In 1998 it was estimated that homicide, which disproportionately affects young males, was responsible for 9.7% of the 6.4 years longer that White men live compared to Black men. While health of Hispanic persons is closer to health of White persons the death rate for homicide among Hispanics aged 15 to 34 is higher than among similarly aged Whites.
520 $a The first chapter of this dissertation reviews previous research on deadly police action, discusses methodological challenges in studying police-related deaths, and relates implications of deadly police action for public health research and practice. The second chapter is an empirical examination of how risk of police-related deaths for Black and White men varies by geographic region and state-level measures of economic and racial equity. We found that while it was difficult to draw conclusions from state-level data, our data indicated that the fourfold increase in risk for Black men, and twofold increase in risk for Hispanic men, compared to White men was consistent regardless of state-level economic or racial equity.
520 $a The third chapter is an empirical exploration of neighborhood context and homicide risk for Black, Hispanic and White men in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. For this chapter, death certificate data were linked with 1990 United States Census data to create a dataset rich in neighborhood level measures of socioeconomic position. We found that White men not only had substantially lower risk of homicide when compared to Black and Hispanic men of the same socioeconomic level, but the highest risk for White men (over all socioeconomic levels) was substantially lower than the lowest risk for Black and Hispanic men. The data indicated that neighborhood poverty, female-headed households, home ownership, and higher education were all strong predictors of homicide rates after adjusting for race, age of victim, and other neighborhood socioeconomic position characteristics. Our analyses suggest that area-based interventions to improve social and economic conditions would be effective in decreasing risk of homicide for men.
