The Chicago Justice Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting transparency and accountability in the justice system of Chicago and Cook County. With a focus on opening up big data from various justice agencies, they aim to provide a better understanding of how the system operates and empower stakeholders, communities, and policymakers to engage with the justice system effectively.
As the second-largest justice system in the United States, the Chicago Cook County justice system plays a vital role in the lives of tens of thousands of residents. However, limited access to data and restrictive policies hinder stakeholders' ability to comprehend and validate the practices of justice agencies. The Chicago Justice Project seeks to bridge this gap by connecting data across agency and political boundaries, ultimately creating safer and better-informed communities through government transparency.
