Crime is a significant social, economic, and legal issue. This paper presents an open-access spatiotemporal repository of street and neighborhood crime data, comprising approximately one million records of crimes in China, with specific geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and timestamps for each incident. The dataset is based on publicly available law court judgment documents. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are employed to extract crime events at the neighborhood or even building level from vast amounts of unstructured judicial text. This dataset enables more precise spatial analysis of crime incidents, offering valuable insights across interdisciplinary fields such as economics, sociology, and geography. It contributes significantly to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in fostering sustainable cities and communities, and plays a crucial role in advancing efforts to reduce all forms of violence and related mortality rates.citation: Zhang Y, Kwan M P, Fang L.

This paper presents the first analysis of ethnic discrimination in sentencing patterns in the People's Republic of China, focusing on drug cases in Yunnan province. We posit the ``problem minority" hypothesis, which holds that discrimination in an authoritarian system emerges when an ethnic group becomes associated with behavior that generates social instability. On average, minority defendants in Yunnan receive sentences that are about 2.1 to 7.5 months longer than Han defendants that have committed similar drug crimes. Further analysis of data from all provinces reveals that this bias is largest for groups heavily involved in the drug trade, and in provinces with significant minority populations and drugs.

Wildlife crimes that involve smuggling threaten national security and biodiversity, cause regional conflicts, and hinder economic development, especially in developing countries with abundant wildlife resources. Over the past few decades, significant headway has been made in combating wildlife smuggling and the related illegal domestic trade in China. Previous studies on the wildlife smuggling trade were mostly based on customs punishment and confiscation data. From the China Judgments Online website, we retrieved cases related to cross-border wildlife and wildlife products smuggling from 2014 to 2020. A total of 510 available cases and 927 records for more than 110 species were registered. We thoroughly studied each judgment and ruling file to extract information on cases, defendants, species, sentences, and origins and destinations ...

As a part of the effort to promote e-governance and judicial transparency, China has been promoting mass online digitalization of court, including an archive of judgment text (司法文书), a platform of online trial videos and live broadcasting (庭审直播), and a judgment implementation tracker (判决执行). China has become one of the few countries that allow cameras in the courtroom. Though a growing number of studies use court decision data, little research has been conducted on the court trial videos. The goal of the Chinese Courtroom Video Database is to meet the needs of those interested in broad research of government policy diffusion, judicial transparency, and judicial behavior in the China context by filling the vacancy in judicial data and providing a new perspective to the existing scholarship. The database includes two sets of data. The first dataset is a catalog of half-million entries of criminal and administrative trial videos in all 31 provinces from January 2013 to February 2019. Each profile records the basic information of a trial video, such as case identification number, date and time of the trial, participants, reason of trial, location of the court, number of views of the video, and other descriptions. The second dataset is a collection of 1,491 audio files of online criminal trials in Yunnan, China. Each audio was downloaded and converted from the original video. The datasets were collected using the Selenium package of Python and Downie, an online stream downloader.
