公共组织，包括美国刑事司法 (CJ) 系统中的机构，一直在迅速发布与 COVID-19 相关的信息。即使是通常不愿分享信息的司法机构，如私人监狱，也发布了重要的 COVID-19 信息。然而，现有的大流行相关数据的好处并非没有问题。概念不清、利益相关者对数据收集和发布的影响以及缺乏创建健康数据公共仪表板的经验只是困扰 CJ 机构发布 COVID-19 数据的几个问题。在本文中，我们详细介绍了 CJ 系统各部门的机构在发布流行病相关数据时面临的问题。最后，我们为寻求利用大量公开数据来了解大流行影响的研究人员提出了一系列建议。
Public organizations, including institutions in the U.S. criminal justice (CJ) system, have been rapidly releasing information pertaining to COVID-19. Even CJ institutions typically reticent to share information, like private prisons, have released vital COVID-19 information. The boon of available pandemic-related data, however, is not without problems. Unclear conceptualizations, stakeholders' influence on data collection and release, and a lack of experience creating public dashboards on health data are just a few of the issues plaguing CJ institutions surrounding releasing COVID-19 data. In this article, we detail issues that institutions in each arm of the CJ system face when releasing pandemic-related data. We conclude with a set of recommendations for researchers seeking to use the abundance of publicly available data on the effects of the pandemic.
