800 | 2019.08.07 | 1 | Opioid distribution. | The Washington Post and the Charleston Gazette-Mail recently won a year-long legal battle to obtain a large slice of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s data on opioid shipments. (The data had previously been provided to plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit, but a judge had sealed the records from public access.) The Post has begun publishing its findings, as well as a cleaned-up version of the dataset that focuses on “shipments of oxycodone and hydrocodone pills to chain pharmacies, retail pharmacies and practitioners” between 2006 and 2012. The raw, unsealed dataset is also available. Related: A 500-row subset, so you can see what the data looks like before downloading the large files. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/how-an-epic-legal-battle-brought-a-secret-drug-database-to-light/2019/08/02/3bc594ce-b3d4-11e9-951e-de024209545d_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.e32623ec4459

About one-third of the groups in the dataset operated in the US, Russia, or China; the rest are spread across dozens of other countries. Related: Additional documentation (PDF).

887 | 2019.12.18 | 3 | Duterte’s drug war deaths. | In the Philippines’ drug war, President Rodrigo Duterte has given police broad permission to kill suspected drug dealers. But an investigation by reporters at the Columbia Journalism School earlier this year found that “large numbers of killings [...] have been excluded from official counts.” The reporters collected data from 23 sources on 2,320 killings by police and unidentified assailants between July 2016 and December 2017 in three municipalities. Their dataset (free account required to download, alternate version here) indicates the month, local police station, whether police recorded the death, and more. Related: Because so many deaths appear to have gone unreported, the journalists worked with the Human Rights Data Analysis Group to estimate the total number of undocumented deaths.
