The tool produces an automated risk score to predict the probability of re-offending within a specific time frame. In 2016, ProPublica released a studyand an accompanying dataset of ~ 10,000 in obtained from Broward County, Florida. The dataset included the COMPAS risk scores and any reported re-offending in the two year period following the original arrest. The study concluded that the COMPAS tool is racially biased, but follow-up research challenged this conclusion. The COMPAS dataset was extended (not by the original creators) in 2020 to include probation data from the Broward County Clerk’s Office.</p>

Through NIBRS, the FBI collects incident-level data on crime from law enforcement agencies, where an incident is defined as a set of offenses committed by a group of individuals, at the same time and place. NIBRS reports detailed information on each recorded crime incident. Both offender and victim demographics are reported, as well as relationships between victims and offenders. It is reported whether an arrest was made and the type of arrest (e.g. on view). Information on property and weapons involved in the crime is also available, as well as the time of day and type of location (e.g., street) the crime occurred in. Not all law enforcement agencies report to NIBRS, but participation is growing, and there is complete population coverage for some states.</p>
