Modern technology is changing the public sector as well as the “criminal justice system”. Intelligent solicitations are considered to foresee crimes, computerize legal procedures, and calculate relapse. Utilization of intelligent technology for enhancement of criminal justice, police work and law enforcement eventually helps to develop an advanced and intelligent criminal justice system.However, not all technological applications are necessarily clever or smart. We examine smartness from an empirical and prescriptive viewpoint based on a literature review in order to create a list of deciding factors. For every smart project inpublic sector, we define the application of technology as a fundamental need as well as efficiency, effectiveness, and involvement as normative requirements. In light of the particulars of criminal justice system, the terms legality, equality, and transparency might be added to the list of requirements. In summary, this study offers and investigates criteria for evaluating the applicability and effectiveness of technological improvements in the “criminal justice system”. It would be simpler for practitioners and policymakers to determine whether employing “artificial intelligence” in criminal justice is appropriate and, more significantly, without the help of the catalogue created here.

Key words:  Criminal Justice System, Artificial Intelligence, Pakistan, Technology and Law and Enforcement.
