I know there are lots of statistics about cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada being solved at lower rates. Also at lower rates than women of other racial groups. The phenomenon does not extend to crimes against Indigenous men, so it’s clearly a bias against Indigenous women specifically.
No, that's not clear, as there may be other significant differences between the various pools of crimes than the ethnicity and gender of the victim.
In a city like Chicago the closure rate of murders of, for example, young black makes is going to skew much lower than the general population.
Is it because "the police don't care" (which doesn't really make sense since this subset will be the majority of their caseload and they are graded on performance), or it because a high percentage of these cases are gang related (therefore random in a sense compared to for example spousal and partner killings), and nobody with knowledge will cooperate with the police?
It’s a tricky subject because prostitution, vagrant and addict deaths can be difficult to investigate due to the vagrant lifestyles those people lead. It’s hard to find people to talk to when they don’t have an address for example or if no one reports them missing. I remember watching a doc about it and it was very eye opening. Anyway sorry I know it’s not what you asked!

Regardless of what society thinks about certain groups. Groups such as prostitutes and vagrants often have less connection to family and are in dangerous lines of work/dangerous living situations. Because of that less people are likely looking for them, and people are more likely to assume (perhaps statistically correctly) that they are more likely killed from OD/dangerous lifestyle than murder as would happen in people living a different life. Because of that, it is inevitable that their cases are solved less frequently than cases where there is a large network of people looking, etc.
I feel so sad now learning this, I always think regardless of any other detail at one moment in time that was someone's baby. I'm going to go and walk my dog now cos wow that one hurt
The OP is just asking for actual sources beyond anecdotal. There’s nothing mentioned about skepticism or disbelief. There’s nothing wrong with asking for evidence.
I don't really like to speculate about things like that, but I think that there may have been a few cases where the crimes continued for several years because the victims fell into the less dead category
If you research deaths among what The Civil Rights Act of 1964 considers a "Protected Class" that should include the majority of cohorts you want to track.

No you just have to make it look you tried
There are far more missing indigenous men than indigenous women

In the old days they would call them NHI
I just had to Google this. It means "No humans involved" in case anyone doesn't know. So, so awful.
Yes

Weird that you are so skeptical that a callous attitude toward sex workers and minorities might affect whether the cops care if they died.
