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.
