Data Analysis Internship

*ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS ON A ROLLING BASIS*

CfJJ currently has several projects that require data analysis, data visualization, and/or cost-benefit and policy analysis skills.  All our data projects will involve a race equity analysis as an important core component of our work.  

Examples of internship tasks:

• Mapping Child Welfare Trends: Work with federal and state child welfare data to track trends, analyze multiple areas of data points relating to youth in foster care, and create visualizations.

• Police Accountability: Sourcing, analyzing, and visualizing municipal-level policing and funding data.   

• Raise the Age Analyses:  Cost-benefit and caseload analyses; analysis of prosecution and court data related to older youth in the criminal legal system.

• School discipline and school arrest data: Analysis of multi-year trends to determine if 2018 legislative reforms had the desired impact of reducing school-based arrests, or if this has led to an increase in the indirect pipeline into juvenile justice through increased suspension. 

Anticipated skill sets:

• Data organizing and cleaning

• Data analysis and data visualization

• With staff support, write-up of analysis to accompany visualizations. 

• Setting up systems for analysis and visualization of future quarterly and annual state agency reports.
