We are excited to share the SuspectGuilt Corpus: a collection of 474k local news crime reports from across the US. 1821 of these stories were selected for further annotation. Annotators rated (1) how likely they considered the suspect(s) of a story to be guilty (reader perception), and (2) how much the author of the report believes that the suspect(s) are guilty (author belief). For each question, annotators also highlighted why they gave their response.
This corpus presents an extensive collection of news articles with rich guilt rating and highlighting annotations, as well as the annotators' self-reported age, gender, and native language information.
With its publication, we would like to encourage more research in the domain of crime reporting and specifically guilt perception.
For more details, have a look at our corpus documentation. In Kreiss & Wang et al. (2020), we published a more detailed description of the data collection process, and show the value of rich annotations for understanding and modeling guilt perception.
The Annotated Iterated Narration Corpus (AINC)
In this corpus we have collected reproductions of news stories from participants who read carefully designed crime reports about a committed crime and the arrest of a suspect. The original stories were manipulated as to how strong the evidence seemed to be. The reproductions were then again read and reproduced by other participants. Afterwards those stories were annotated probing the reader's belief about the suspect's guilt, but also other measures, such as their emotional affectedness for each reproduction.
For more details, have a look at our corpus documentation or consult Kreiss et al. (2019) where we describe the data collection process and present some first interesting analyses.
