	<p>&nbsp;<strong>What is Deadly Force?</strong></p>
<p><em>Deadly Force</em> is the most comprehensive database of police killing ever published in Kenya.</p>
<p>The project, by <em>Nation Newsplex,</em> records all the deaths from police encounters in Kenya since 2015.</p>
<p>In 2016, <em>Newsplex</em> is monitoring local media and human rights reports, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and human rights organisation websites and social media to track the demographics of each person killed by the police and the circumstances surrounding their deaths.</p>
<p>Specific details recorded for each case include age, name and occupation of the deceased and whether the person was armed.</p>
<p>Going forward, the project will bring together <em>Newsplex </em>reporting with proven crowdsourced information to build a more thorough record of such fatalities.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://newsplex.nation.co.ke/deadlyforce/index.php#database">Explore the database here</a></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;What is included in and excluded from Deadly Force? </strong></p>
<p>Any deaths arising directly from encounters with the Police and Kenya Wildlife Service warders. This include, but is not&nbsp; limited to, people who were shot, beaten to death and struck by police vehicles as well those who died in police custody.</p>
<p>Suicides by police or self-inflicted deaths during encounters with police or in custody are not included.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Why the project is important?</strong></p>
<p>The National Police Service police in Kenya does not share killings by police and while some human rights organistions have tried to record the cases they admit that their databases are incomplete.&nbsp;&nbsp; The project is intended to help Kenyans reflect and have an informed public discussion about the use of force by police.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;How does the project present the information?</strong></p>
<p><em>Deadly Force</em> presents the data and stories through a dynamic database, interactive visualisations, photos and multimedia pieces that share the experiences of friends and relatives of people who have been killed by police.</p>
