Computational Research for Equity in Legal Systems (CRELS) trains doctoral students representing a variety of degree programs and expertise areas in the social sciences, computer science and statistics. We strive to increase opportunities for people from groups traditionally underrepresented in data science.
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.
