Abstract
Freedom of information laws are vital to a free and functioning press, but their execution has mixed results, particularly when dealing with government-held information on homicide in the form of mass shootings and police killings of unarmed people of color. This study considers what FOI laws look like regarding access to homicide records, provides a case analysis of four states as examples of the varying types of FOI laws, and provides recommendations for how to improve both the laws and their execution nationwide for enhanced police transparency.
