crim-data-and-transparency — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited crim-data-and-transparency (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Criminology research increasingly travels with its data and code. Expert reviewers and editors expect that your reported tables and figures could be reproduced. Wiley's general data-sharing guidance requires a Data Availability Statement for research- and synthesis-based articles, while the current Wiley ACT row for Criminology lists the journal-specific data-sharing policy field as No Policy. Treat that as: prepare a credible statement and package, but do not claim a journal-specific mandatory repository deposit unless the live portal requires it.
Wiley/Dryad repository) or why they cannot be shared. Use Wiley DAS templates and the live portal wording; do not imply mandatory deposit where restricted data make that impossible.

(often NACJD restricted-use), enclave requirements, and contacts.
renv.lock / requirements.txt / recorded installs)Criminal-justice data is often restricted — juvenile records, agency systems, NACJD restricted-use files behind enclaves. The ASC/Wiley open-science direction still expects a credible reproducibility path, so the answer is rarely "cannot share." Match your situation to a tier.
| Data situation | Acceptable transparency move | What to deposit |
|---|---|---|
| Public file (e.g., NCVS, UCR/NIBRS extracts) | full open deposit | data + master script + README |
| NACJD restricted-use | exemption note + exact application path | code + synthetic/derived data + access steps |
| Agency / juvenile confidential records | DUA or confidentiality exemption + contact | code + simulated data matching schema |
The principle: even when raw data cannot travel, the code and a runnable substitute should. Confirm the final statement wording against the journal's current submission guidelines.
A study uses a state juvenile-justice extract that cannot be redistributed. The package ships a master script regenerating all 8 exhibits; a README documenting construction and the application process (agency contact, IRB requirement, ~12-week window, illustrative); a synthetic dataset matching the schema so reviewers can run the script; and seeds for the EM-based trajectory fit. The statement names the restriction, the legal basis, and the access route — not "available on request."
