ArcGIS

I am using ArcGIS StoryMaps to visualize my information and findings because it helps me frame my research as a story and narrative. This tool allows me to combine sections, maps, text, images, and multimedia in a seamless manner. I feel that it will make my project more engaging and easy to navigate. I am also using ArcGIS to help visualize some of my data by mapping by county. 

TimelineJS

I am using TimelineJS to help visualize events during the pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases. It is also easy to use and visually appealing. This tool helps show the sequence of events in an engaging manner. I feel that it will help me paint a detailed, concise, clear picture of events in a way that is still engaging for the viewer. 

Datawrapper and Tableau

I am using Datawrapper and Tableau to help visualize elements such as arrest and prosecution rates. Both tools make it easy to create clear and interactive charts and graphs. Datawrapper is great for quick and simple visualizations while Tableau offers more advanced and interactive features for detailed analysis.
