Who is the Measuring Disproportionality poster for?
Measuring Disproportionality belongs to the Criminal Justice section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning policy & evidence can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Measuring Disproportionality poster?
Use it to read a disparity statistic without over-claiming what it shows. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Measuring Disproportionality belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Measuring Disproportionality poster print at?
Measuring Disproportionality is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Measuring Disproportionality loses nothing.Printing guide
