A Call For Reform: Data Visualization


This project analyzes arrest rates in New York City (NYC) using NYC Open Data to examine the disparities in the treatment of people of color within the criminal justice system. By exploring data on arrests, one can investigate the disproportionate impact on specific racial or ethnic groups.

The NYC Open Data platform provides access to a wealth of information, including arrest records, demographic details, and location-based data. Researchers and analysts can utilize this data to quantify and compare arrest rates among different racial and ethnic categories. The analysis in this project reveals patterns of overrepresentation in arrests of minority groups, shedding light on systemic issues/biases within law enforcement practices.

Examining the relationship between population size and arrest rates for people of color can contribute valuable insights to discussions surrounding social justice, equity, and the need for reform within the criminal justice system. It's an opportunity to leverage data transparency for informed discussions and policy considerations to address disparities in arrest rates based on race or ethnicity.
