    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the author's claim that various risk-assessment algorithms are being challenged in American bail, sentencing, and parole decisions as of 2017, and it mentions how an attorney argued that the Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (Compas) algorithm violated his client's right to due process in the Wisconsin v. Loomis criminal law case. Equal justice and the risks of committing additional crimes are examined.
