Increasing the Effectiveness of Re-socialization of Convicts through Individual Forecasting of Their Behavior Using Information Technologies

Re-socialization of convicts is critical for social sustainability, ensuring their successful reintegration into society and reducing recidivism, which aligns with SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The aim of the paper is to evaluate how information technologies (IT) and forensic psychological examinations can enhance re-socialization through individual behavior forecasting. An observational study analyzed psychological and social factors in convicts using mathematical and statistical methods to reduce subjectivity. Tools included Cattell’s 16PF questionnaire, Kotlyakov’s life meanings methodology, and Chirkina’s criminogenic factors questionnaire. A SWOT analysis assessed the feasibility of microchipping technology. Psychological diagnostics and IT, including microchipping, enable the creation of a recidivist profile, identifying risk factors (e.g., low emotional stability increases recidivism risk by 83%). IT reduced behavioral violations by 15% in pilot programs. Combining forensic psychological examinations with IT, such as microchipping, enhances re-socialization by predicting recidivism risks, but ethical and legal frameworks are needed. This approach promotes social inclusion and sustainability.
