- ## Overview
101
-
102
- The COMPAS (Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions) dataset has been used to analyze various aspects of the criminal justice system, including whether certain groups of defendants are more likely
103
- to receive harsher sentences, whether the algorithm's predictions are accurate, and the impact of these predictions on sentencing decisions. However, it's crucial to consider the context and potential biases when interpreting the results from this dataset.

- ## Dataset Details
107
-
108
- This data originally came from [COMPAS Recidivism Racial Bias](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/danofer/compass)
109
-
110
- The 40 columns provide a detailed look at the defendant's demographic information, assessment details,
111
- recidivism indicators, and risk scores assigned by the COMPAS algorithm. Each row represents a unique assessment or case,
112
- capturing the information associated with an individual's involvement with the criminal justice system and the assessment made by the
113
- COMPAS tool regarding their risk of Recidivism and other factors.
114
-
115
- An in-depth analysis by ProPublica can be found in their [data methodology article](https://www.propublica.org/article/how-we-analyzed-the-compas-recidivism-algorithm).
