What is it about?
We hired formerly gang-involved young people as community experts for contextualizing social media data in order to create inclusive, community-informed algorithms. In this paper, we describe the process of involving formerly gang-involved young people in developing algorithms that detects pathways to violence on Twitter.

Why is it important?
These insights could change how data scientists approach the development of algorithms that affect people in marginalized communities and who to involve in that process.
Perspectives
If the gap between people who create algorithms and people who experience the direct impacts of them persists, we will likely continue to reinforce the very social inequities we hope to ameliorate.
