Introduction

Purdue professors are trying to eliminate a return to prison for recently released criminals by _using _artificial intelligence to uncover risky behaviors which could then help identify when early intervention opportunities could be beneficial.

Study and Results

Results of a U.S. Department of Justice study indicated more than 80 percent of people in state prisons were arrested at least once in the nine years following their release. Almost half of those arrests came in the first year following release.

Marcus Rogers and Umit Karabiyik of Purdue Polytechnic’s Department of Computer and Information Technology, are leading an ongoing project focused on using AI-enabled tools and technology to reduce the recidivism rates for convicted criminals who have been released.
