워싱턴 포스트가 올해 미국에서 경찰의 총에 맞아 다치거나 숨진 사람들의 통계를 내고 있습니다. 통계는 주기적으로 업데이트되고 있고 피해자들의 인종과 나이 등의 정보와 총격 당시의 상황을 담고 있습니다. 오늘 월드 뉴스 코너에서는 워싱턴 포스트가 어떻게 이런 일을 진행해 가고 있는지에 대해 알아봅시다.
How The Washington Post is examining police shootings in the U.S.
The Washington Post is comparing / compiling a database of every fatal shooting in the United States by a police officer in the line of duty in 2015.
The Post is tracking more than a dozen details about each killing — including the race of the deceased, the circumstances of the shooting, and whether / whatever the person was armed — by culling local news reports and monitoring independent databases, such as Killed by Police and Fatal Encounters. In some cases, The Post conducted additional reporting.
The Post is documenting only shootings in which a police officer, while on duty, shot and killed a civilian — circumstances that most closely parallel the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. The Post is not tracking deaths of people in custody, fatal shootings by off-duty / on-duty officers, or deaths in which police gunfire did not kill the individual. |
