The New York Civil Liberties Union points out that, of 26,181 police officers, 64.8% are white, 14.5% black, 19.1% Hispanic, and 1.4% Asian.

In its study When Men Murder Women, the Violence Policy Center (www.vpc.org) reported that 1857 women were murdered by men in 2005. Of these victims, a weapon could be identified for 1752 of them.
Of those for whom a weapon could be identified, 966 were killed by guns, 390 by knives or other cutting instruments, 136 by other weapons, and 260 by personal attack (battery, strangulation, etc.). The FBI s Uniform Crime Report says that, among all murders nationwide, the weapon use rates were as follows:
