Challenges of Employing Artificial Intelligence in Criminology and Enhancing Community Security — An Applied Analytical Study

This study aimed to explore the challenges of using artificial intelligence (AI) in criminology and its potential to strengthen community safety. Drawing on the perspectives of criminology professors in Jordan and the UAE, the research identifies human, technical, and financial barriers, while also highlighting related security risks. Data was gathered from 50 experts through a structured questionnaire. To analyse the responses, statistical tools such as descriptive analysis, T-tests, ANOVA, and post hoc tests were applied. Findings show significant obstacles in human resources, infrastructure, and funding. The study concludes with practical recommendations that focus on training, improving infrastructure, and encouraging regional collaboration.
