Pro-DATA is a free resource created by the Annie E. Casey Foundation to support data-driven decision-making and data transparency in youth justice at the local and state levels. This online tool is open to all jurisdictions by request.
Pro-DATA is an application for jurisdictions to gather and visualize their youth justice data on more than 100 measures, with the option to add unlimited additional measures to address local priorities. The application’s chart-making capability helps users identify opportunities for improvement and track what interventions work — and don’t work, and for which groups of youth. The dashboard lets users see patterns for all youth and then dive deeper into patterns by race and ethnicity, among other characteristics. Without the deeper dive, stakeholders might miss that racial groups frequently have different outcomes, often with stronger gains for white youth than youth of color.
