This paper presents the problem of decision making by a judge in the case of murder cases in criminal law using single hidden layered fuzzy neural network algorithm. Since the membership functions (MFs) of fuzzy sets can affect the performance of the classification models, determination of MFs is crucial. In this paper, the MF selected is Triangular and Gaussian is proposed for evaluation to improve the classification results. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed Fuzzy Neural Network model for the classification of murder cases, sufficient number of real-world data sets of court decisions are trained and tested. The simulation model of different membership functions for the modified fuzzy neural network architecture is implemented in C++. Experimental results show that the proposed neuro-fuzzy classifier with Gaussian MF outperforms Triangular MF with higher accuracy. The proposed classification model is proved to be a suitable tool for classification of murder cases in criminal law.
