Resumen
La noción de riesgo ha tenido, desde siempre, un papel fundamental en la configuración de los modelos de penalidad en el Norte Global. Su irrupción, desarrollo y expansión responde a un proceso multicausal de enorme complejidad que ha acompañado y acompaña de forma permanente a las ciencias penales Llevando esto a la actualidad, cuestiones como el Big Data, el Machine Learning o los nuevos paradigmas político-criminales parecen dibujar un escenario para el que el modelo de penalidad, al menos en términos de valoración riesgo, no parece estar preparado. En este contexto, surgen los Algoritmos de Valoración de Riesgo (ARA) en tanto que herramientas capaces de ofrecer potenciales soluciones. Los ARA plantean a través de nuevas premisas, métodos y tecnologías un nuevo horizonte de lo posible en el que son capaces de predecir más y mejor que sus predecesores. Así las cosas, este trabajo tiene por objetivo revisar, desde una perspectiva crítica, todo lo recién expuesto en tanto que forma de intentar constatar la veracidad de las premisas de que los ARA son capaces de superar a todos los instrumentos anteriores así como de que son la mejor forma de avanzar hacia un modelo de penalidad mejor.
