Abstract
The article examines the importance of using administrative data of court statistics in official statistics. The relevance of access to administrative data of court statistics is emphasized. The article indicates the tasks performed by forensic statistics. Attention is focused on the potential of such administrative data when using them in official statistics, which is important for improving the efficiency of the judicial system, improving legislation, when making powerful management decisions, etc. The current state of work of the courts and the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine was analyzed with judicial statistics. It was established that the Supreme Court independently approves the form of statistical reporting and does not submit it to the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, but publishes it on its own website. The study also found that the State Statistics Service of Ukraine publishes only statistical information on administrative offenses in Ukraine, which indicates that administrative data of judicial statistics are practically not used in official statistics today. Attention was focused on the relevance of using the latest technologies to ensure the availability of information data on the results of judicial proceedings, and positive steps in this direction, made with the introduction of the Unified Judicial Information and Telecommunication System, were noted. It is proposed to involve the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in the automated interaction of this system with other automated, information, information and telecommunication systems of bodies and institutions of the justice system. The primary tasks aimed at ensuring the effective functioning of the mechanism for the use of administrative data of judicial statistics in official statistics are described, and the stages of such a process are also given and characterized. The conducted SWOT analysis examined the strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities and threats of the process of using administrative data of judicial statistics in official statistics.
