Pittsburgh PA & Chicago IL demographic trends in arrest rates

[BBarr-PDAP]

Someone has requested help on a data project:

Submission notes

I am looking for arrest rates by race in other cities. Do you have a listing or source? I only need Black and white arrests for the latest year available. I have Chicago arrests from the latest police annual report as well as Pittsburgh’s.
If you find Black and white population along with the arrest data, as in Pittsburgh’s reports, that would be helpful too since I am calculating black/white arrest rate ratios.

Location
