[ecrea] Data Scores as Governance: New report by the Data Justice Lab

Data Scores as Governance: Investigating Uses of Citizen Scoring

Project Report

Data Justice Lab, Cardiff University


The Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University has just released a new 
report on the uses of data analytics in public services in the UK. The 
report examines the emergence of scoring systems and other forms of data 
analytics that combine data from a variety of sources as a way to 
categorize citizens, allocate services, and predict behaviour. It 
provides the first comprehensive overview of key developments and 
outlines concrete examples of scoring systems across different local 
authorities and partner agencies, prominent uses of commercial services, 
and understandings and perspectives about these developments amongst 
stakeholders and civil society. Drawing on multiple methods, including 
Freedom of Information requests, interviews, and stakeholder workshops, 
the report summarizes the findings of one year of intense research.
