CRELS at UC Berkeley

The Berkeley Computational Research for Equity in the Legal System Training Program (CRELS) is a NSF-NRT sponsored grant for a new multi-disciplinary training program in the social sciences, computer science and statistics. CRELS will leverage UC Berkeley’s faculty expertise in the law and social science of criminal justice systems (police, courts, prisons, jails, community corrections), data science, and the social implications of AI. Computational research on topics such as prosecutorial decision-making, police misconduct, and the links between evictions and contact with the criminal justice system will address fundamental, longstanding challenges related to inequality and its connection to criminal justice institutions in the United States.
