- Sidebar: Leveraging Big Data to Help Persons Under Supervision in Need
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to be an invaluable resource to community supervision officers as they monitor behavior and facilitate reentry programming. As officers are required to do more with less, AI can serve as a force multiplier, helping community supervision officers pinpoint those individuals under immediate risk of recidi...
NIJ solicited investigator-initiated research and development of AI solutions for community corrections agencies. NIJ sought field-tested and readily deployable solutions in three areas: 1. Providing real-time RNR assessments; 2. Promoting intelligent tracking of individuals under supervision ; and 3. Enhancing programming through mobile service de...
Real-time RNR assessments, intelligent tracking of those under supervision, and mobile delivery of programming are not mutually exclusive services. A robust AI solution can meet all three areas of need for community corrections. Through its 2019 solicitation, NIJ funded two promising AI projects to advance development of all three applications. RTI...
To help community corrections officers meet individuals’ criminogenic needs before they recidivate. Officers are supervising larger caseloads of more at-risk individuals while trying to combat historically high recidivism rates. NIJ has begun work on developing technological solutions to provide community supervision officers with a much-needed for...
While NIJ awaits AI solutions from the research teams, it will continue to engage the scientific community to rigorously evaluate reentry programs and refine algorithms for assessing risk. Those new resources will help triage services to those reentering individuals most in need. Trying to predict who is likely to fail on probation or parole is not...
