By the numbers: The use of data in mitigating systemic racism in the criminal justice system

The Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference, Council on Communities of Color, in partnership with the Vermont Legislative Social Equity Caucus presents a new installment in an ongoing series of micro-summits.

Our latest focus will be: “By the Numbers: The Use of Data in Mitigating Systemic Racism in the Criminal Justice System”

The Vermont legislature’s Social Equity Caucus and the Council of State Governments Council on Communities of Color are cohosting a virtual micro-summit to address the role of data in mitigating systemic racism in Vermont’s criminal justice system. A panel of experts and special guests will discuss the needs of end users of such data to ensure oversight and transparency of law enforcement and other criminal justice entities. They will also discuss the current state of data collection and production in the criminal justice system as well as existing obstacles to our ability to use data to inform policy to address racial disparities in Vermont’s criminal justice system.

Micro-summits offer insights, analysis and solutions on numerous challenges communities and governments face as crises mount. This next micro-summit will take place via Zoom on Friday, July 31st, 10am – 11:30am ET.

These micro summits are a unique convening of state and local policy makers, experts and thinkers concerned about the massive equity gaps and the devastating impact of racism on communities of color.
