Zusammenfassung	Legal judgment prediction is a machine learning approach that forecasts court decisions and judicial outcomes based on case features, legal precedent, and judicial characteristics. Pioneered by Daniel Katz and colleagues in 2017 with their celebrated U.S. Supreme Court prediction model, this method applies supervised learning to large datasets of digitized court decisions to identify patterns in how judges decide cases. Legal judgment prediction has since expanded to appellate courts, trial courts, and international tribunals, enabling legal professionals to anticipate case outcomes and make strategic litigation decisions.	Crime linkage analysis is a forensic method that determines whether a series of crimes were committed by the same offender based on behavioral and modus operandi (MO) similarities. Developed systematically by Craig Bennell and colleagues in the early 2000s, crime linkage applies statistical and similarity-matching techniques to establish offender attribution. The method is essential in serial crime investigation, where establishing linkage enables consolidation of investigation resources, geographic profiling, and offender-focused surveillance.
