How do "technical" design-choices made when building algorithmic decision-making tools for criminal justice authorities create constitutional dangers? [PDF]
This two part paper argues that seemingly "technical" choices made by developers of machine-learning based algorithmic tools used to inform decisions by criminal justice authorities can create serious constitutional dangers, enhancing the likelihood of abuse of decision-making power and the scope and magnitude of injustice. Drawing on three algorithmic

CrimeGNN: Harnessing the Power of Graph Neural Networks for Community Detection in Criminal Networks [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce CrimeGNN, a novel application of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) specifically designed to uncover hidden communities within criminal networks. As criminal activities increasingly rely on complex network structures, traditional methods of network analysis often fall short in detecting the intricate and dynamic communities within

This study develops an Au/S‐doped reduced graphene oxide (Au@S‐rGO) sensor for rapid fentanyl detection. DFT simulations and structural analysis confirm atomically dispersed Au/S configurations, enhancing catalytic activity. The sensor achieves a 9.7 nmol L−1 detection limit, 98–104% recovery in human serum, and 85.7–93.6% consistency with mass ...
