Data Analytics Externship with Center for Improving Youth Justice

A data analytics externship with the Center for Improving Youth Justice, focused on analyzing CIYJ's multi-file juvenile justice dataset and testing common assumptions with correlational methods.

Overview

The project worked with CIYJ's multi-year dataset of surveys, incident reports, demographics, and outcomes. The work defined analytical boundaries for correlational methods, mapped the dataset structure and key measures, and documented open questions about rates versus raw counts to guide further analysis.
