OBJECTIVE
To determine the number and characteristics of motor vehicle crash deaths related to police pursuits in the United States.
METHODS
Analysis of the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the Crashworthiness Data System of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the years 1994-2002.
RESULTS
There were 2654 fatal crashes involving 3965 vehicles and 3146 fatalities during the nine year study period. Of these, 1088 were to people not in the fleeing vehicle. These crashes often occurred at high speed, in the night, on local roads. Most of the pursued drivers had prior motor vehicle related convictions.
CONCLUSIONS
Many deaths related to police pursuits are to innocent victims. Given that most of the pursued drivers had prior convictions, alternative means of detaining them should be explored.
目的
确定美国与警方追捕相关的机动车碰撞死亡人数及特征。
方法
对1994 - 2002年国家公路交通安全管理局的死亡分析报告系统和碰撞安全性数据系统进行分析。
结果
在九年的研究期内，发生了2654起致命碰撞事故，涉及3965辆车辆和3146人死亡。其中，1088起事故的受害者并非逃逸车辆内的人员。这些碰撞事故常发生在夜间、当地道路上，且速度较快。大多数被追捕的司机此前都有与机动车相关的定罪记录。
结论
许多与警方追捕相关的死亡事故受害者是无辜的。鉴于大多数被追捕的司机都有前科，应探索其他拘留他们的方式。
