About the Department
Who We Are
In cities across the country, people face high rates of gun violence,
under-resourced schools, and social harms associated with the criminal
justice system -- all of which disproportionately impact people of
color. These inequalities have profound consequences on public safety
and opportunity. As a society we have failed to address these
challenges, in part, because of our lack of understanding of the most
effective and cost-effective solutions that can have a real impact on
people\'s lives. We believe that rigorous research can help.
The University of Chicago Crime Lab and Education Lab partner with
cities and communities to use data and rigorous research to design,
test, and scale programs and policies that enhance public safety,
improve educational outcomes, and advance justice. Our mission is to
combine world-class data science and research, in partnership with
government agencies, to substantially improve the effectiveness of the
public sector and achieve impact at scale.
