RESEARCH
Analyzing Datasets to Support Advocacy Work
SCSJ's Research Program provides quantitative data collection, research, and analysis in support of litigation and policy advocacy in the voting rights, justice system reform, and environmental justice program areas.
Our Work
Our team collaborates with each program area to define, develop, and execute both short- and long-term research plans that support organizational goals, and promote systems change for the advancement of racial equity and social justice. We also provide grassroots community organizations with data driven insight and analysis to advance their own social, political, and economic interests.
Quantitative Research
We focus on analyzing broad swathes of data to look for patterns, connections, and overlooked details.
GIS Data Analysis
We conduct Geographic Information System Data Analysis to visualize patterns and identify trends within a geographic context.
How We Advance Social Justice
By assembling large amounts of data into succinct and easily accessible content, our focus areas can better gain data-centric contextual awareness that supports legal and advocacy work.
With tools like the Sampson County Landfill Origins Explorer, Open Data Policing, and the SRO Grievance Tool, SCSJ offers a variety of data-centric, interactive resources for the community.
