What We Do

The UC Berkeley Computational Research for Equity in the Legal System Training Program (CRELS) trains doctoral students representing a variety of degree programs and expertise areas in the social sciences, computer science and statistics.  

Our computational research on prosecutorial decision-making, police misconduct, and the links between evictions and contact with the criminal justice system addresses fundamental, longstanding challenges related to inequality and its connection to criminal justice institutions in the United States.
