Description
At a time when AI is already being integrated into the criminal justice systems of the US and other countries, and legal professionals are considering the accuracy and impact of using AI in their preparatory work, AI in Criminal Law provides much-needed insights for legal practitioners.
This succinct volume covers the core questions and issues facing legal practitioners – from an overview of core AI concepts and data protections, to use of AI in preparing skeleton arguments and writing submissions. It also explores the use of AI by criminals in England and Wales and abroad. This is important for practitioners as they need to be aware of how new technology is increasingly facilitating criminal activity, particularly fraud, money laundering, and theft of private information.
Written by an author team who combine experience of AI policy and regulation with the legal practitioner’s perspective, this unique book brings those working in criminal and cyber law up to date with how AI has already been, and will continue to be, integrated into different phases of the criminal justice process and will therefore likely impact on their practice.
This title is also available within Bloomsbury Professional’s Cyber Law online service.

Media Reviews
Using a free general AI for legal work is presently a very bad idea, evidently. Lawyers are better advised to look for reliable, informed sources such as this new work for criminal practitioners … [They] will find much value throughout, from choosing which AI to use, ensuring data protection (a very daunting area), and using AI for summarising evidence, drafting submissions and otherwise saving all lawyers’ most precious commodity – time. * Law Society Gazette *
