J298 Police Violence and Media Narratives

Police Violence and Media Narratives will turn 15 years of raw homicide data obtained exclusively from the Oakland police department into a richly textured and visualized web site. The goal of the class is to document the ripple effect of homicide deaths and the ensuing disruptions in the lives of victims, perpetrators and their families, through the voices and experiences of people in the community. It will provide a web-based framework that can be augmented and enhanced in future courses.
