Applying Data Science to Justice Systems: The North Carolina Statewide Warrant Repository (NCAWARE), 2014-2019

This study uses the data from the unified, statewide warrant repository NCAWARE (NC Arrest Warrant Repository) to evaluate a proposed system for processing and serving arrest warrants. The NCAWARE system is maintained by the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (NCAOC). The study takes place within the Greensboro, NC police department where two of the four police districts utilized the system. This study is the result of the unorganized system for processing and serving warrants and the significant backlog of cases with outstanding warrants that exists across the country. One of the purposes of this study was to create a systematic approach for law enforcement agencies to prioritize the execution of warrants.

本研究采用统一的全州逮捕令数据库 NCAWARE（北卡罗来纳州逮捕令数据库）中的数据，以评估一项拟议的逮捕令处理及执行系统。NCAWARE 系统由北卡罗来纳州法院行政办公室（NCAOC）维护。研究在格林斯伯勒市警察局进行，其中该局的四个警察局中的两个采用了该系统。本研究旨在解决全国范围内处理及执行逮捕令的杂乱无序系统以及未执行逮捕令的严重案件积压问题。本研究的一个目的是为执法机构构建一套系统性的方法，以优先执行逮捕令。
