So the bodies of people shot are seen more often in high police presence areas and just not found in other areas? That seem strange that it would be due to higher police presence. The fact that for non violent crimes the stats are skewed sound plausible but that seem less so for violent ones.



Higher enforcement of nonviolent crime leads to more strained relationships with the community leads to less cooperation with law enforcement leads to higher rates of all crime.


Dead bodies appear in about 1% of violent crime.
