dc.description.abstractPre-trial detention is a debated measure in different legal systems since it deprives defendants of their liberty prior at the initial stage of proceedings. To order this measure, the judge must justify it by highlighting the risks that the arrested person presents to society and to the criminal procedure itself. An example of a factor related to preventive custody, in countries such as Italy and Brazil, is involvement in criminal organizations. The paper presents the results of experimental research with supervised learning, in particular using XAI techniques, such as decision trees and Shapley Additive Explanations. Our corpora are composed of unstructured data (texts of judicial decisions) and structured data (factors extracted from such judicial decisions), from the case law of Italian and Brazilian Supreme Courts. As a result, we have identified a collection of factors that play an important role in the reasoning of the judge and in predicting outcomes, including common factors between the two countries. In particular, we have verified that involvement in criminal organizations consistently leads to the decision to maintain imprisonment in the Brazilian scenario, while in the Italian context, this is unclear. Finally, we conclude that data structuring based on the extraction of factors from the decision texts not only increases the prediction’s quality but also allows for their interpretation and explanation.en
