In this article, we propose to build a forensic cyberphysical system (CPS) that, with a data lake as its computational and data repository core, will support clinical and research efforts in forensic psychiatry, this in both intramural and extramural settings. The proposed CPS requires offender's data (notably clinical, behavioural and physiological), but also emphasises the collection of such data in various XR contexts. The same data would be used to train machine and deep learning, artificial intelligence, algorithms. Beyond the direct feedback these algorithms could give to forensic specialists, they could help build forensic digital twins. They could also serve in the fine tuning of XR usage with offenders. This paper concludes with human-centered cybersecurity concerns and opportunities the same CPS would imply. The proximity between a forensic and XR-supported CPS and social engineering will be addressed, and special consideration will be given to the opportunity for situational awareness training with offenders. We conclude by sketching ethical and implementation challenges that would require future inquiring. Copyright © 2025 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.},

abstract = {Introduction Forensic psychiatry is the field whose expertise is the assessment and treatment of offending behaviours, in particular when offenses are related to mental illness. An underlying question for all etiological models concerns the manner in which an individual's behaviours are organized. Specifically, it becomes crucial to understand how certain individuals come to display maladaptive behaviours in a given environment, especially when considering issues such as offenders’ responsibility and their ability to change their behaviours. Virtual reality Thanks to its ability to generate specific environments, associated with a high experimental control on generated simulations, virtual reality is gaining recognition in forensic psychiatry. Virtual reality has generated promising research data and may turn out to be a remarkable clinical tool in the near future. While research has increased, a conceptual work about its theoretical underpinnings is still lacking.
