Welcome to the TrendCT and Connecticut Mirror hackathon on disparate treatment by race.
Between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (or earlier), we will focus on creating useful tools or extracting unexpected stories from Connecticut's racial profiling data, which records every traffic stop in the state.
It is a comprehensive database that aims to diagnose where racial profiling may be happening. We are able to work on this unique data set thanks to the tireless work from the Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy at Central Connecticut State University and the Connecticut Data Collaborative.
