Work we do every day in our courtrooms. One interesting thing that did come from the study that was conducted was the value of proposition 47 for reducing Racial Disparity. I raise it here today, its one of the rare policies we see working on reducing incarceration and gives the greatest benefit to African American men, above anybody else. Thats a pleasant outcome that warrants evaluation and is the type of policy we want to prioritize across criminal justice if were going to look for areas to reduce mass incarceration and we can simultaneously impact the communitys most impacted by the policies. I think we have come to a good policy to be replicated. So this graph shows the impacts we have around prop 47 and dramatic arrests in relation to other population groups. So as i mention, the data systems within San Francisco for the das office, we have a Case Management system called damien. We input the information about the cases were processing, that system does not contain race informati
So white, asian, africanamerican, if you go down, you can see the different groups and thats where the wide gaps are. First, more white or caucasian staff than population in the city. So the red bar versus the blue. We have fewer africanamerican staff than we have people in the city. Its looking at that imbalance and helping to set policy about how we oversee hiring panels, what kind of oversight we do in terms of recruitment, hiring a recruiter to improve the racial diversity of our pools for applicants, all of those things were done in response to looking at that data. Next slide. And then just an overview of what our approach to data is. We use two methodologies. One is lean, coming out of industry that looks at how to improve a process. And when is resultsbased accountability thats out of public government, looking at how to improve services. And it basically says, use the data to define the problem, so collect good data, analyze the cause very deeply of why your data looks the way
Intersection of race and poverty as an indicator. Lastly, we want to talk about theory of action. We believe that as we continue to build a professional capacity, to make decisions with data, to be empowered with data, we will see our Student Outcomes improve and outcomes at a higher level because there will be that deeper information to make decisions and take actions. So thats our theory of action. Lastly, we do partner with others. We share our data. We love to listen and learn as we did in this forum from our partners and from other School District or other city partners. Weve given you examples of when and how we partner with the community, as i mentioned, through the forums that we just held in november, with the cities and the measures built into the children and our families document. We also have Research Practice partnerships where we have a Longstanding Partnership with stanford. We have currently 28 Research Projects that are in collaboration with stanford that have not for
