For the purposes of this report, an "arrest-related death" (ARD) falls into one of four descriptive categories. First, it includes deaths that occur before law enforcement personnel establish physical custody or before a formal arrest process is initiated. Second, it includes deaths that occur while attempting to elude law enforcement personnel during the course of apprehension. Third, it includes any death caused by use of force by State or local law enforcement personnel, as well as those not directly related to actions of law enforcement personnel (suicide, accidental injury, and illness or natural causes). Fourth, it includes deaths that involve law enforcement assistance in restraining and transporting individuals needing medical or mental health care. Note that ARDs do not include deaths that occur in a jail or other long-term facility and deaths that occur in the custody of Federal law enforcement officers. From 2008 through 2010, there were 88 ARDs in Ohio. Homicide by law enforcement personnel accounted for 61 (69 percent) of these deaths. Suicide accounted for approximately 24 percent of the ARDs. Accidental injury caused by the decedent or others on the crime/arrest scene accounted for approximately 5 percent of all reported ARDs. Ninety-six percent of the decedents were men. Fifty-eight percent of the decedents were White, and 40 percent were Black. Persons between the ages of 25 and 34 accounted for 33 percent of the deaths; 24 percent of the death involved decedents between 35 and 44 years old. All data are broken down by Ohio counties.
