    UL Crime Ed Lab Data Analytics
    About the Department

    Who We Are

    In cities across the country, people face high rates of gun violence, under-resourced schools, and social harms associated with the criminal justice system all of which disproportionately impact people of color.

    These inequalities have profound consequences on public safety and opportunity.

    As a society we have failed to address these challenges, in part, because of our lack of understanding of the most effective and cost-effective solutions that can have a real impact on peoples lives.

    We believe that rigorous research can help.

    The University of Chicago Crime Lab and Education Lab partner with cities and communities to use data and rigorous research to design, test, and scale programs and policies that enhance public safety, improve educational outcomes, and advance justice.

    Our mission is to combine world-class data science and research, in partnership with government agencies, to substantially improve the effectiveness of the public sector and achieve impact at scale.
