INDIVIDUAL DATA
The data on this page have all been gathered from publicly available online sources. For each case, links are provided to the original data and case details, where available. Please be respectful of those involved in the cases and cite the original sources appropriately. We are not responsible for broken links, but we will check the site regularly.
Sources for individual data are provided in the spreadsheet below (it is best to open the spreadsheet in a new browser tab).
How to use the spreadsheet:
Tab 1 ("Individual Data")
This tab contains all of the individual data sources. Each row is an individual case. Data sources are organized by "Case Name", "Discourse Type", and "Case Type". Descriptions of data are also provided. Links to the data sources are in the right-hand columns. As with all external links, use caution when visiting new websites. This tab is best used to search the first two columns ("case name" and "descriptions")
You may search the entire spreadsheet by pressing Ctrl+F or Command+F and searching for a particular word/phrase.
Tab 2 ("Discourse Type Search")
This tab allows the data to be sorted by the tagged "Discourse Type". Simply select the appropriate option from the dropdown list in the left column.
Discourse Type relates to the genre of discourse.
E.g., emergency dispatcher language that may involve multiple case types such as murder and sexual assault, or case names such as Trayvon Martin or Casey Anthony.
Tab 3 ("Case Type Search")
This tab allows the data to be sorted by the tagged "Case Type". Simply select the appropriate option from the dropdown list in the left column.
Case Type relates to the type of crime or civil matter.
E.g., a bribery case that may include multiple discourse types such as a covert recording and a witness statement, or case names such as Rod Blagojevich or James Usry.
