Criminal Sentencing and Intelligent Decision Support

  • Chapter
Book cover Judicial Applications of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The construction of computer systems for sentencing decision support has lately been of increasing interest. Different approaches and models exist for such systems. Of the available technologies we advocate improved access to precise statistical data, reject a rule-based expert system approach, and argue that a case-based advisory system approach could be the most acceptable. Two prototype systems we have under development and testing are described.

“There are two kinds of people in prison: those who should never have been sent there, and those who should never be let out.”

(George Bernard Shaw)
