Artificial Intelligence driven Criminal Justice System

Abstract It wouldn’t be wrong to say that artificial intelligence has taken over every aspect of our world. No field has remained untouched by its influence, and a large number of people are becoming increasingly addicted to it. While experts fear that AI might dominate our world and turn us into its slaves in the future, it is also true that AI has made life significantly easier.With the advent of AI, tasks in fields such as medicine, law, education, and more have become quicker and more efficient. AI provides solutions to problems at an unprecedented pace.Researchers are now exploring the potential of AI in various areas, including the criminal justice system. With AI, it has become much easier to track down criminals, conduct investigations, and provide rehabilitation for both crime victims and offenders. This technological advancement has opened new avenues for improving justice and efficiency in society.To predict the behaviour of criminals, England has introduced the Harm Assessment Risk Tool (HART) and the USA, the Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS). Both these programmes profile the offender and help the judge in assessing the likelihood of the offender repeating the crime. Such information is vital while dealing with the bail or parole of an offender. Both these programmes preclude the release of a potentially dangerous offender into the society. This paper aims to elucidate how AI can be utilized for crime detection and prevention and analyse the impact and significance of AI in the criminal justice system and objectives of this paper is to explore the potential of artificial intelligence in transforming the criminal justice system, with a particular focus on prison administration and rehabilitation. It seeks to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of AI-driven mechanisms in managing prisons more efficiently, ensuring transparency and enhancing security. Additionally, the research will evaluate current AI applications being used in rehabilitation programs for both victims and offenders, examining their impact on reintegration and behavioural reform. By analysing existing AI-based software already aiding the justice system, the study will identify strengths, limitations, and areas of improvement. Ultimately, it will propose innovative, AI-driven solutions to enhance the overall efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness of the criminal justice system.
