Identify a problem in the criminal justice system. How do you think we could use large amounts of data to better inform our response to that problem? What questions might we be able to answer if we had large amounts and/or additional types of information about crime, justice-involved individuals, and the criminal justice system?
Identify a different problem than the one you selected in #1 above. How might GIS and spatial analysis help us to understand that problem in a way that would facilitate better prevention or intervention? What types of data/variables would we ideally need to fully understand the problem you have selected?
How can we ensure that these types of research efforts do not create any ethical concerns or unwanted bias?
