Data and Disruption: How One Organization Overcame the Odds to Change the Game for Criminal Justice Reform
Rochester’s Amy Bach, founder of Measures for Justice, has discovered a way to track fairness in the criminal justice system—to see if people from different backgrounds and races and economic statuses are all getting the same treatment. By collecting data from all over the country, Amy and her team have developed a sophisticated method for doing what no one thought could be done.

This event is free and open to the public.
