README

? Justice Divided

Justice Divided is an educational tool and resource repository meant to promote awareness of disproportionate minority contact (DMC), or the overrepresentation of black youth in the juvenile justice system.

Within the system, the first steps toward equitable justice are acknowledging DMC as a problem of race, accepting joint responsibility, and making a deliberate effort to address its root causes.

Outside the system, we can and should demand these changes from policy makers and practitioners.

This website is intended to facilitate all the above.

Setup
? For data, see the data documentation.

Justice Divided is built using Jekyll, a static site generator that runs on Ruby. If you don't have Ruby installed, we recommend you manage your installation with rbenv or RVM.
