Vladislav Lisitsyn compiled this dataset of four statistical tables tracking criminal court decisions in Kazakhstan from 2015 to 2025. It documents outcomes for pre-trial detention, convictions, acquittals, and incarcerations, including comparative data for jury trials versus single-judge trials in serious criminal cases.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the correlation between trial type (jury vs. judge) and acquittal rates
- Tracking longitudinal trends in pre-trial detention usage from 2015 to 2025
- Quantifying systemic patterns of 'accusation bias' using conviction and acquittal statistics
Strengths
- 10-year longitudinal coverage from 2015 to 2025
- Comparative data for jury vs. single-judge trial outcomes
- Specific categorization of decisions by punitive and accusation bias
Limitations
- Absence of specific column headers or data dictionary in metadata
- Geographic limitation to Kazakhstan's legal jurisdiction
- Potential for reporting bias inherent in official judicial statistics
