Data First Crown Court defendant case level dataset (CRCO)

Dataset

Summary

Citation:
CITATION INCOMPLETE

Documentation

Description:
One record per defendant per case giving details of defendant characteristics, offence categorisation, court proceedings, and outcomes. Where multiple offence and disposal types were recorded for a case, only details of the most serious offence and most serious disposal are given (please note that as the linked criminal courts datasets provide information on only the most serious offence at the point of committal to court and sentencing, they may not include the full range of offending that may be attributable to defendants, and therefore restricts the ability of researchers to explore any associations and correlations between different types of offences within the cases being heard before the courts). The fields populated for appeals differ from other case types. The Research Accreditation Panel provides oversight of the framework that is used to accredit research projects, researchers and processing environments under the Digital Economy Act 2017 (DEA). Researchers are advised to liaise with SAIL support teams to understand the requirements and timelines involved with submitting a research project to the Research Accreditation Panel. https://uksa.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/digitaleconomyact-research-statistics/research-accreditation-panel/

Access

Access Service:
Access for approved purposes and projects is to accredited researchers through the ONS Secure Research Service (SRS). The application form is available on gov.uk and governed by MoJ and HMCTS. Please see the application form guidance and the Data First user guide for more information on the process. The SAIL Databank is powered by the UK Secure e-Research Platform (UKSeRP). Following approval through safeguard processes, access to project-specific data within the secure environment is permitted using two-factor authentication.
Jurisdictions:

Data Controller:
SAIL Databank
Access Request Cost:
Data provision is free from SAIL. Overall project costing depends on the number of people that require access to the SAIL Gateway, the activities that SAIL needs to complete (e.g. loading non-standard datasets), data refreshes, analytical work required, disclosure control process, and special case technological requirements.
