Using Predictive Justice Algorithms in Criminal Justice System: Prospects and Challenges

Abstract

The impact of artificial intelligence algorithms is widely felt on many different aspects of life, and because of the efficiency and speed of such algorithms, decisions can be taken as well as their implementation on behalf of humans in the field of criminal justice. Despite the progress that has been made, there are still great concerns on the issue of rapid mechanization of the justice sector in general, and the judiciary in particular. Therefore, discussion and analysis of the impact of such algorithms on the justice system in this paper is of high importance. Such discussions will be carried out through three chapters; while chapter one reviews the concept of algorithms and their importance in criminal justice, chapters two and three are devoted to discuss the use of artificial intelligence algorithms in pre-trail and during trail stages respectively. This work, however, ended with a conclusion that contained the main results of the research and recommendations
