Yes, this is a slightly morbid posting and link. But interactive homicide maps like the one kept by the L.A. times provides up-to-date information on victims of violent crime, sortable by many features including: age, race, gender, and killing by police.
Classroom ideas: Using maps to analyze trends/patterns; correlation; visual representation of data; regression lines to show rise/fall over time.

I agree that although this is morbid information, it definitely could (should?) be used in math classes, indeed, taught across the curriculum with social studies.
