Innovative Dashboard for Hate Crime Data Analysis

ICAAD is seeking a skilled data analyst and dashboard designer to help develop an innovative dashboard that integrates FBI hate crime statistics, Bureau of Justice Statistics data, and other relevant sources. This dashboard aims to not only present the data in an accessible and insightful manner but also to highlight disparities in hate crime reporting across different jurisdictions. Many states do not track or report hate crimes, and the FBI relies on voluntary reporting, making this an essential tool for revealing critical gaps.

Skill Set Required:
Proficiency in Tableau Prep for data cleaning and collation
Expertise in Tableau for dashboard design and data visualization
Strong understanding of data analysis and statistical methods
Ability to design user-friendly dashboards that cater to diverse audiences (researchers, policymakers, activists)
Experience in creating systems for regular data updates
Attention to detail and an eye for design

Are you passionate about using data to drive social change? Join ICAAD to help develop a cutting-edge dashboard that highlights disparities in hate crime reporting across the U.S. Your expertise will be crucial in presenting this data in a clear, impactful way, providing an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and activists. By working on this project, you’ll enhance your skills in data analysis and visualization while contributing to a more transparent and responsive criminal justice system that better serves marginalized communities.
