DESCRIPTION:Politicians, pundits, and mainstream media are claiming crime is going up 
 and some are blaming defund the police campaigns. But how we measure crime 
 is a socially constructed, political process and more data literacy on this 
 topic can be useful in this political moment. \n\nIn this educational 
 lecture we will learn about some of the history of counting crime during 
 the post-Emancipation period, who has pushed for crime data to be 
 collected, some of the major data sources (including the samples and 
 methods), and how crime data is deployed for various purposes.\n\nWhile 
 this event and all of our events are freely available, we ask that those 
 who are able make a solidarity donation in support of this important work. 
 Part of the proceeds from this event will go to the National Bail Fund 
 Network.\n\n\nDate and time: Tue, July 27, 2021 @ 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
