"During the 3-year period from 2003 to 2005, 47 States and the District of Columbia reported 2,002 arrest-related deaths to the Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP). The DCRP counts represent the first national measurement of all types of deaths that occurred in the process of arrest. The collection of these counts was mandated by the federal Death in Custody Reporting Act (Public Law 106-297)." - P. [1].
