论文摘要
自2010年以来，风险评估工具的产出预测个人对伴侣的严重暴力有多大可能性已纳入巴斯克国家法庭。 EPV-R是为在评估基于性别的暴力案件期间协助警官开发的工具，还纳入了协助法官决策。在培训不足的情况下，法官接触了一种算法输出，该算法产生影响人类在基于性别的暴力案件中采取措施的决定。 在本文中，我们研究了算法治理的风险，危害和局限性在基于性别的暴力的背景下。通过暴露于该工具的西班牙法官的镜头，我们分析了EPV-R如何影响司法系统。我们超越了不公平和有偏见的算法产出的风险，我们研究了法律，社会和技术陷阱，例如不透明的实施，效率的悖论和反馈循环，这可能会对遭受基于性别的暴力的妇女产生意外的后果。我们的跨学科框架强调了理解风险评估工具在司法决策中的影响和影响的重要性，并在这种情况下提高了对其实施的认识。
Since 2010, the output of a risk assessment tool that predicts how likely an individual is to commit severe violence against their partner has been integrated within the Basque country courtrooms. The EPV-R, the tool developed to assist police officers during the assessment of gender-based violence cases, was also incorporated to assist the decision-making of judges. With insufficient training, judges are exposed to an algorithmic output that influences the human decision of adopting measures in cases of gender-based violence. In this paper, we examine the risks, harms and limits of algorithmic governance within the context of gender-based violence. Through the lens of an Spanish judge exposed to this tool, we analyse how the EPV-R is impacting on the justice system. Moving beyond the risks of unfair and biased algorithmic outputs, we examine legal, social and technical pitfalls such as opaque implementation, efficiency's paradox and feedback loop, that could led to unintended consequences on women who suffer gender-based violence. Our interdisciplinary framework highlights the importance of understanding the impact and influence of risk assessment tools within judicial decision-making and increase awareness about its implementation in this context.
