Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting our everyday lives in a myriad of ways. The use of algorithms, AI agents and big data techniques also creates unprecedented opportunities for the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences and the efficiency of the criminal justice system. Equally, however, the rapid increase of AI and big data in criminal justice raises a plethora of criminological, ethical, legal and technological questions and concerns, eg about enhanced surveillance and control in a pre-crime society and the risk of bias or even manipulation in (automated) decision-making. In view of the stakes involved, the need for regulation of AI and its alignment with human rights, democracy and the rule of law standards has been amply recognised, both globally and regionally. The lawfulness, social acceptance and overall legitimacy of AI, big data and automated decision-making in criminal justice will depend on a range of factors, including (algorithmic) transparency, trustworthiness, non-discrimination, accountability, responsibility, effective over-sight, data protection, due process, fair trial, access to justice, effective redress and remedy. Addressing these issues and raising awareness on AI systems’ capabilities and limitations within criminal justice is needed to be better prepared for the future that is now upon us.

This special issue on ‘Artificial intelligence, big data and automated decision-making in criminal justice’ comprises topical and innovative papers on the above issues, centred around AI and big data in predictive detection and policing, liability issues and jurisdictional challenges prompted by crimes involving AI, and AI-assisted and automated actuarial justice or adjudication of criminal cases.

Soms wordt volksgeloof/bijgeloof wel “oudewijvenpraat” genoemd. Heksen en hun vervolging doorheen de eeuwen zijn dan niet veraf.

Bijgeloof of volksgeloof gevoed door angst en chronische onstabiliteit lijkt doorheen de eeuwen de mens tot irrationele en wrede handelingen te hebben aangezet.

De wreedheid van de lijfstraffen en executies doorheen de eeuwen heen kunnen wellicht verklaard worden door de noodzaak aan stabiliteit. De beul maakte deel uit van het rechtssysteem. Folteringen en publieke executies werkten afschrikkend. Maar tegelijk was het volksvermaak. De mens lijkt in staat tot de meest gruwelijke daden en lijkt hiervan te genieten. Er is een soort vreemde groepsdynamiek.

Overbevolking leidde in bepaalde periodes tot werkloosheid, honger en een algemene stijging van de criminaliteit. Sociale spanningen werden op natuurlijke wijze opgelost door de genadeloze pest, in andere tijden door het voeren van heksenprocessen of het vervolgen van ketters.

Bijgeloof blijkt doorheen de eeuwen deel uit te maken van het economisch stelsel, naast politieke en religieuze motieven. Sommige perioden in de geschiedenis zoals bijvoorbeeld de heksenvervolgingen kunnen gezien worden als een massaal verschijnsel van verstandsverbijstering. Kan dit verklaard worden?

Is de mens van nature uit bloeddorstig en wreed of wordt dit gevoed door angst voor een hogere macht of kracht?

Armoede kenmerkt deze tijd en is een hot topic in tv-programma’s,tijdschriften en glossy’s, maar ook in de gemeentelijke en landelijkepolitiek en in de jeugd- en ouderenzorg. Iedereen heeft een meningen velen willen helpen. Dagelijks worden nieuwe initiatievengeboren maar de grootste zorg wordt verleend door de professionelebewindvoerders. Zij zijn diegenen die iedere dag opnieuw voor dezegroep mensen met een minimum aan financiële middelen, binnenhet kader van de wettelijke mogelijkheden en verplichtingen, hetmaximale eruit halen.

Dit boek is een handleiding geschreven vanuit de wettelijke basisen vertaald naar de dagelijkse praktijk van bewindvoering inNederland. Het is bedoeld voor de professionals, mantelzorgers,schuldhulpverleners, studenten en iedereen die door bewindvoeringgeboeid is.

Hoeveel rookmelders moet ik hebben? Waar moet ik die hangen? Welke moetik kiezen? Hoe werkt een brandblusser precies? Moet ik een blusdeken in huishalen? Wat moet ik doen als er brand uitbreekt bij mij thuis? Hoe pak ik dit aanmet kinderen?

Vragen, vragen en nog eens vragen. Men weet ondertussen wel dat rookmelders‘bij wet’ verplicht zijn, maar hoe dit dan precies geïntegreerd moet worden ineen woning of hoe men deze brandveiliger kan maken, weet men meestal nietof onvoldoende. Wat te doen als er effectief brand uitbreekt, blijkt al helemaaleen probleem.

Ik besloot om de kennis en expertise die ik heb opgedaan als brandweerman,brandpreventieadviseur en instructeur te bundelen in een boek. Dit boek iseen leidraad voor iedereen die brandveilig door het leven wil gaan. Zo kunnenwe er samen voor zorgen dat het aantal woningbranden en het aantal dodendoor brand drastisch dalen. Want deze cijfers zijn dramatisch. Gemiddeld sterfter elke 6 dagen iemand door een woningbrand in ons land. Het belang vanbrandveiligheid in en om je woning of je appartement mag dus niet onderschatworden. 100% brandveiligheid bestaat niet, maar je kan je er wel 100% voorinzetten. Brand kan bij mij en bij jou nu, morgen, overmorgen of hopelijk nietontstaan. Ik neem je graag mee in mijn verhaal van brandveiligheid bij je thuiszodat we samen kunnen zorgen voor een brandveilige leefwereld. Alleen samenkunnen we zorgen dat België brandveilig wordt!

On the first Issue:
In his Encyclical Letter on Care for our Common Home (Laudato Si’), Pope Francis stated that air pollution, deficient waste management, climate change, desertification of soils, deterioration of water quality and loss of biodiversity are some of the main manifestations of the environmental crisis produced by a scheme of technocratic power, characterized by a deviant anthropocentrism. In fact, the growing awareness of the need to protect the environment has been decisive for the recognition of the human right to a healthy environment, the legislative development of legal tools for environmental protection and the conclusion of international agreements on this matter. Criminal law has been part of this regulatory evolution on the assumption that, although it is not able to solve such complex problems alone, nonetheless it should not fail to address the violation of the essential legal interests at stake.

This volume brings together major contributions to the 7th AIDP Symposium for Young Penalists (Rome, 11-12 November 2019), organised by the AIDP Young Penalists Committee in collaboration with the Italian AIDP National Group and Luiss University, Rome. The conclusions of the Symposium were presented during the XXth International Congress of Penal Law in the session dedicated to ‘Corporate Criminal Law and Environmental Protection’.

On the second Issue:
This issue puts together the proceedings of the AIDP XX International Congress of Penal Law ‘Criminal Justice and Corporate Business’ held on 13th-16th November 2019, organised by the Italian National Group in collaboration with Luiss Guido Carli University. The Congress was the opportunity for over six hundred representatives of the AIDP national groups from all over the world to convene in Rome, Italy – a place that was last home to this meeting crucial for the life of the Association fifty years ago – to finalise the work of the International Colloquia.

As the title explains, the 2019 International Congress has focused on the relationship between criminal justice and corporate business, reflecting the work of the AIDP over the past five years on individual liability for business involvement in international crimes, food regulation and criminal law, the interplay between administrative and criminal enforcement, the prosecution of corporations for violations of international law and related jurisdictional issues.

The volume is divided into thematic sections and collects the major contributions to the XX International Congress, dealing with issues concerning corruption, financial markets and the role of criminal law; economic crime and the role of new technologies; corporate liability, business integrity and human rights protection; new perspectives related to the criminal justice and corporate business landscape. It also contains the resolutions adopted across the four International Colloquia preceding the XX international Congress.

The articles published in this issue testify to the lively and cross-cutting debate that took place during the numerous plenary and parallel sessions of the Congress and that involved representatives of academia, institutions, governments, the judiciary, and the corporate community.

Globally, there are growing calls for Higher Education Institutions to become more civically engagedand socially relevant while increasing public interest in the impact of universities on theirlocalities and regions. Engaged Learning facilitates students to apply theory to real-world contextsoutside of the University and to co-produce knowledge with and for the community. EngagedLearning provides students with the skills which increase their employability, and improvetheir personal and professional development, while communities gain access to skills to helpdevelop, evaluate, or communicate their work with regard to actual societal challenges.

To enhance the knowledge and understanding of what constitutes a successful and sustainableEngaged Learning programme an in-depth view is provided into practices from six institutionalcontexts from six countries throughout Europe. Highlighted is the diversity and flexibility to befound within Engaged Learning initiatives. However, the one constant is each initiative’s commitmentto a concept where reciprocity between the students, universities, and communities,is prioritised. While the examples themselves differ in their structure and intended outcomes,this diversity is a benefit of Engaged Learning and further cements the varied nature across thedisciplines and Europe.
