Subject: [PW] Stastics -- police brutality?

Fellow Marsupials,

A student is searching for statistical information about police 
brutality -- ideally, he'd like to compare cities.  We've looked at 
Dept. of  Justice web sites, local "cop-watch" organizations, aclu.org, 
basic databases like CQ Researcher and Opposing Viewpoints, and we're 
not sure where to look next.

Student would be very happy to find incidents per capita per year, or 
brutality complaints vs. number of arrests -- he just wants to be able 
to compare Portland, OR (for which he can get figures) to other cities, 
of similar size if possible. 

Thanks in advance for anything you can find....

Robin
