In this piece, @annalilharvey, @JacobKaplan19, & I summarize the woefully-incomplete data on how Covid-19 is affecting ppl who are incarcerated & jail/prison staff. There’s so much uncertainty that makes policymaking in this space difficult. As everywhere, we need more testing!
Correctional facilities around the country are presenting some of the largest clusters of positive coronavirus cases. As of May 18th, nearly 25,000 people incarcerated in state and federal prisons had tested positive for COVID-19 (1/2) econofact.org/incarceration-…

This paper should be required reading for anyone trying to use algorithms to improve fairness/equity or achieve political goals. A worthy ambition but it’ll be easy to do more harm than good in this space.
I have a new paper with @bocowgill, forthcoming in AEA P&P
"Algorithmic Social Engineering"
We apply classic strategic communication models to "fair machine learning". In a nutshell: nudging people to change behavior by tweaking an algorithm is hard! 1/

@JusticeTechLab These data are a useful supplement to homicide as a measure of gun-related violent crime (especially in contexts where you worry about humans' reporting behavior changing). If you use them for anything, please let me know!
The @JusticeTechLab data repository now includes ShotSpotter data from gunshot sensors in 32 cities and counties. Most datasets include precise timestamps & geocodes.
justicetechlab.org/shotspotter-da…
80% of gunfire incidents aren't reported to police. But gunshot sensors tell us where and when they occurred.
You can find gunshot sensor data from 15 cities on our website (with 6 more cities being added soon):
