ABSTRACT:
The construction of smart cities and smart government is in full swing. Public sectors emphasize the advancement of electronic processes and applications to foster innovation. Hence, accelerating the digital reform of the correctional governance system and capabilities is the general trend. This article utilizes the good governance theory as its central framework to elucidate the integration of the rule of law, accountability, transparency, efficiency, equity, responsiveness, participation, and consensus within the corrective institution in Macao. Additionally, the article seeks to analyse the impact of implementing big data on the governance system through a multidisciplinary policy analysis. Drawing from the perspectives and values associated with good governance, this study examines the various components and assessments of capabilities. Specifically, it identifies leadership, innovation, execution, responsiveness, and readiness as the determinants that collectively shape the path of capabilities reform. The incorporation of relevant implications and practices offers a scientific foundation and orientation for the digital reform of governance system and capabilities within correctional services.
