A data story centered around US law enforcement caused deaths by firearms broken down by race and age and correlated with arrest statistics and population data.

Review the second page as well as the first page (see Key Insights below).

US Law Enforcement Caused Deaths by Firearms data comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (1999-2014)

Crime statistics are from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. (1999-2014)

Population statistics are based on 2010 US Census Bureau data.

Key Insights

• Blacks account for a greater percentage of deaths then their percent of the population
• American Indians and Alaskan Natives account for a greater percentage of deaths than their percent of the population
• Asians and Pacific Islanders account for a lesser percentage of deaths than their percent of the population

Page 2

• American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asians and Pacific Islanders account for a greater percentage of deaths than their percent of arrests
• In general, arrest rates by age display a high level of correlation with mortality rates by age
• Younger arrestees have a lesser percentage of deaths than their percent of arrests

On the first page the Race % of Population tiles are not responding to cross-filtering, on the 2nd page the Race % of Arrests is not responding to cross-filtering. I downloaded the pbix but can't tell why it is not working.
