The Paterson police department is the deadliest police department in the state and on the high end of the national spectrum of police violence in the country. Those facing poverty are often subjected to the harshest forms of police violence, and more often than not, the most likely to be killed. Policing protect capital, as they uphold laws that criminalizes the poor rather than help. In this map you can see the concentration of police killing in the most impoverished parts of the city.
