How to manage the data generated with the statistical framework

While collecting data can be a complex endeavour for an individual prison facility, coordinating a data collection, production and dissemination exercise across the entire prison system or across the full criminal justice sector is a vastly more complex activity. Without a clear distribution of roles and responsibilities across organizations, the process is likely to be disorganized. For example, it may be unclear how data are supposed to be collected, which definitions to use, how to format the data and when to submit the data to specific authorities. The key is to develop a functioning system for managing data with clear roles assigned to entities and transparent procedures for data production, protection and dissemination.
