This is the blurb on the back of a book. This is the elevator pitch. This is what you politely explain to the elder/unfamiliar family member who doesn't know what you do for work at that obligatory holiday gathering. This will be displayed publicly. 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.
