Analyzing Data Sets

Southern Coalition for Social Justice’s work to dismantle systems of oppression often requires analyzing data sets from a variety of sources. These data sets are acquired through internet research, data acquisition requests to government agencies, and even web scraping for data that is not easily accessible.

After cleaning and performing quality checks, SCSJ distills complex data into a focused narrative or deliverable by finding patterns and connections that ultimately support our litigation and policy advocacy efforts.
