Cover Story: Recidivism prediction tools can support criminal justice decisions, but they must be accurate, transparent, and fair. This study presents a fairness-aware and interpretable framework that combines a 1D convolutional neural network with an equalized odds penalty to reduce gender-based disparities in false-positive and false-negative errors. Tested on structured datasets from Bulgaria, Greece, and Portugal, the model substantially mitigates bias while maintaining useful predictive performance. Kernel SHAP explanations further show how offender attributes contribute to individual risk scores, supporting auditability, contestability, and more trustworthy AI-assisted decision-making in criminal justice. View this paper
