Date of Launch
2026-09-28
Short Description of Project
This project proposes the development of a Data Visualization Platform on the War on Drugs, an online tool designed to analyze and present data on drug-related policies' impact in Atlanta, GA, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
By integrating quantitative and qualitative research, the platform will allow users to explore patterns in arrests and incarceration based on race, gender, age, and geography. It will also include digital exhibits with testimonials from affected individuals.
The project is primarily a research initiative, intended to provide policymakers, scholars, and the public with insights into how drug policies disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
