I just wrote a piece about the new Citizens Police Data Project in Chicago for the American Bar Journal. I wanted to let you know about a couple of other criminal justice projects out of Chicago, which is quickly becoming a hub for criminal justice civic tech projects. If you know of others I missed, let me know. Here are those other projects to be apprised of:
By Smart Chicago and their partners:
Crime and Punishment in Chicago: an index of data sources related to the criminal justice system.
Convicted in Cook: an analysis of five years of Cook County conviction data.
Expunge.io: the original expungement app.
By the Chicago Justice Project and their partners:
Chicago Police Board Information Center: archiving the most serious allegations of misconduct brought against the Chicago Police Department as handled by the Chicago Police Board.
Million Dollar Blocks: data viz showing the concentration of corrections spending by neighborhood.
