What does black-on-black crime have to do with police violence? Nothing, according to a new report from Campaign Zero , a policy platform that grew out of the Black Lives Matter movement and offers solutions to ending police violence in America.

The 2015 Year-End Police Violence report , released on Monday, compares the rates at which the 60 largest police departments in the U.S. kill civilians. The data, which is a part of the Mapping Police Violence project , also found that out of the these 60 departments, only one didnt have any officer-involved fatal shootings in 2015.

Among this larger statistical breakdown of police violence, Campaign Zero also discovered that there is no direct correlation between police violence and violence that occurs within a given community.
