Multiple Objective Analytics for Criminal Justice Systems
暫譯: 刑事司法系統的多重目標分析

刑事司法系統是複雜且難以設計和運作的。這是因為它們有許多相互作用的部分，以及其動態和概率性質，還有與其他系統的介面。本書回顧了分析技術在解決刑事司法系統問題中的應用，並討論了與這些系統相關的各種數據來源。

本書旨在為希望獲得 1) 刑事司法系統介紹，以及 2) 說明如何使用各種分析方法來解決刑事司法系統中特定問題的讀者提供參考。

本書將對刑事司法、法律、公共事務、政治科學、工業工程和管理等學校/系所的教職員、學生和研究人員感興趣。此外，本書對於研究刑事計畫和法律影響的政府分析師也應該有所幫助。
