Report and dataset guide · California Department of Justice / RIPA Board
Read with context.
The report analyzes approximately 5.1 million stops from 533 agencies. Use agency, reason and outcome definitions carefully; racial/identity information is based on officer perceptions in this collection.
Before using a figure in advocacy, record the exact table or measure, geography, observation period, population, denominator and uncertainty. This page is a research guide; it does not claim that raw data have been imported or independently analyzed.
A stop is not a conviction or necessarily a unique person. A population comparison alone does not prove the reason for an individual stop.
