We have created box plots to visualize the age distribution within each threat level category (Attack, other threat & undetermined).
The box plot above shows the age distribution within each threat level category in fatal police shootings.
Observations:
- The median age appears to be relatively consistent across different threat levels.
- The “attack” threat level has a slightly wider interquartile range (IQR), indicating more variability in age.
- The “undetermined” category has a higher median age and a narrower IQR compared to the other categories, suggesting that individuals in this category tend to be older.
Examine the relationship between threat level and signs of mental illness. We have create a bar plot to visualize the prevalence of signs of mental illness within each threat level category.
The bar plot above displays the prevalence of signs of mental illness within each threat level category in fatal police shootings.
Observations:
- The “attack” threat level has the lowest proportion of individuals showing signs of mental illness.
- The “undetermined” category has the highest proportion of individuals showing signs of mental illness, followed closely by the “other” category.
- This pattern suggests that incidents categorized as “undetermined” or “other” are more likely to involve individuals with signs of mental illness.
These visualizations provide a comprehensive understanding of how threat levels relate to race, age, and signs of mental illness in fatal police shootings.
