ABSTRACT

Introduction. Against the backdrop of the digitalisation of all spheres of activity and the growing volume of unstructured information, there is a need to update certain elements of the methodology of criminological science. New opportunities arising from the spread of artificial intelligence technologies create the conditions for improving the effectiveness of criminological analysis through the collection, processing and systematisation of large volumes of digital information. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to analyse a significantly larger volume of criminologically relevant information per unit of time. The particular potential of this tool lies in the analysis of types of crime characterised by a large volume of empirical data (for example, domestic violence). The aim of this study is to develop and test a methodology for using artificial intelligence technologies, using the criminological analysis of this type of crime as a case study. Methods. The study was conducted as a retrospective documentary analysis. OpenAI’s ChatGPT generative language model, based on the GPT-5.4 language model family, was used as a supporting tool for extracting, structuring and pre-processing data, with the results subsequently verified by the researcher. The empirical data comprised 523 court rulings from 2012 to 2025, selected from open sources and transcribed into a standardised table of criminologically significant characteristics. Results. Testing of the methodology demonstrated its feasibility and scientific value. Based on the dataset obtained, criminologically significant conclusions were drawn regarding violent crime in the domestic sphere. The effectiveness of using artificial intelligence as an auxiliary tool for extracting, structuring and performing initial processing of criminologically significant data has been confirmed. Conclusions have been drawn regarding its high heuristic and practical value for criminological analysis within a strictly defined research framework, whilst maintaining the researcher’s decisive role in interpreting the results.
