Criminal Justice in the Age of Algorithms: Prediction, Punishment, and the Limits of Delegated Judgment

When courts begin to trust machines with questions of liberty, risk, punishment, and human responsibility, justice enters unfamiliar territory. Criminal Justice in the Age of Algorithms confronts one of the defining legal challenges of our time: the rise of predictive technologies within policing, bail, sentencing, supervision, and correctional governance. Moving beyond both blind faith in technology and reflexive scepticism, Adv. Ishaan D. Joshi examines how algorithmic systems reshape judicial reasoning, evidentiary proof, moral blame, and constitutional accountability. This book offers a rigorous blueprint for ensuring that efficiency never replaces justice, prediction never becomes proof, and human judgment remains at the heart of criminal law.
