This book was released on 1987 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a descriptive study of the emergence of a new technology. This examination deals with early experimentation of electronic monitoring devices within the behavioral sciences setting, and traces its development and use up to the current period. Environmental factors which have helped electronic monitoring shift from an experimental model to a working tool within corrections are also examined. Following a review of the available literature, issues and controversies surrounding electronic monitoring are explored. The data utilized in this study was obtained through two primary sources. The first was a literature review in which numerous sources where considered in order to trace the emergence and development of electronic monitoring within the United States. Secondly, legislation was examined in order to support thesis arguments. Based on the results of the review of the literature and legislation, two conclusions were reached. First, the use of electronic monitoring will probably increase the efficiency of the corrections system employing it. This efficiency may increase prison and jail populations. Secondly, this new technology will continue to grow within the field of corrections, and risks can be expected, since many new programs are coming on-line before any scientific study on electronic monitoring can be conducted and evaluated.
Download or read book Electronic Monitoring written by Tom Daems and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic, sociological and penological exploration of the most up-to-date uses of electronic tagging (also known as electronic monitoring). With increasingly overcrowded prisons, electronic tagging has been proposed as an alternative form of punishment, and interest in this topic is growing throughout Europe. Current debates and research have often been limited to policy evaluation and effectiveness, whereas Electronic Monitoring examines the brand of punishment from a social-science perspective. This book explores the uses and history of electronic tagging, and draws upon the work of the Dutch criminologist Willem Nagel to reflect upon this form of punishment by examining its functions and dysfunctions. It speaks to those interested in criminal justice reform, surveillance, penology and penal innovation and probation.

Book excerpt: Electronic monitoring of offenders in the criminal justice system is a trend that continues to expand in the U.S. and abroad. The history of the technology is reviewed as is the prevalence and usage of EM systems on a global scale. Specifically, this document examines the commonly held pros and cons to EM use in the criminal justice system and potentially relevant theoretical perspectives to support justifying EM's existence and use. Electronic monitoring programs from the United States, Sweden, and the United Kingdom are examined to understand programmatic differences in theoretical assumptions, structure, and monitoring. In conclusion, this document identifies a series of questions and issues, absent from the research published to date, which may provide further understanding of the technology and its role within the criminal justice arena.

This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic monitoring of a curfew has become an integral part of the criminal justice system and its use has increased from 9,000 cases in 1999-2000 to 53,000 in 2004-05. This report examines its cost effectiveness and covers: whether breaches of curfew are detected and dealt with promptly; the cost compared to custody; the impact on the offending behaviour. The main conclusion is that electronic tagging does offer value for money but effectiveness is undermined by delays in fitting tags and delays in responding to breaches of curfew.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November of 2006, California voters passed Proposition 83, also known as the "Sexual Predator Punishment and Control Act: Jessica's Law" or simply, Jessica's Law. This law not only enforced the use of GPS surveillance units to track all convicted sex offender parolees, including juveniles, for the rest of their lives, but it also enforced a strict 2000-foot residency restriction thus greatly limiting the locations of where parolees can live and work. As a result, the number of registered sex offenders has increased as well as the amount of money used to fund such popular surveillance policies. Since the passing of Jessica's Law, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) now leads the nation in the use of GPS surveillance for the community management of sex offenders on parole. The use of GPS to track sex offender parolees is driven by several factors including the desire to control re-offending behavior and to "keep kids and communities safe." However, studies conducted on recidivism rates for released offenders question whether or not these expectations are, in fact, realistic. This dissertation begins with a discussion of the history of electronic monitoring schemes used within the United States criminal justice system. Charting the uses of surveillance technology throughout the past 40 years, findings suggest that growth is widespread and changing. Additionally, this dissertation details changes in sex offender legislation including legal justifications and political rhetoric associated with current law. Most importantly, this dissertation utilizes qualitative data from focus groups with sex offender parolees on GPS. Findings indicate that Jessica's Law, as a criminal justice policy, does little to help reintegrate or rehabilitate parolees, nor does it effectively curtail reoffending behavior. Instead, analysis within this dissertation demonstrates how Jessica's Law and GPS technology are counterproductive, exclusionary, and costly.
Download or read book Electronic Monitoring as a Custody Alternative by the Year 2000 written by Edward Neil Bonner and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains a futures study, a strategic- management plan, and a transition-management plan pertinent to the use of electronic monitoring as a custody alternative in California by the year 2000. A nominal group panel was established to identify trends and events that could impact electronic monitoring. The five key trends assessed included court limitations on jail population, the reliability and public confidence in electronic monitoring, criminal justice resources, and the use of fees for custody alternatives. The data show that public acceptance of electronic monitoring will increase during the next decade. The study further shows that the issue of increased use of electronic monitoring is more political than technological. A situational audit shows that the organization is marginally prepared to accept change. A stakeholder assessment reveals that the positions or persons critical to increasing the use of electronic monitoring are all part of the local criminal justice system. Strategies were developed through use of the modified policy delphi. The selected strategy involves a combination of an educational campaign aimed at the public and media, as well as a team-building workshop for stakeholders. An implementation plan was established to increase the use of electronic monitoring. For the transition-management plan, critical-mass individuals were identified, and strategies were designed to enlist their participation in increasing the use of electronic monitoring. A transition-management team was selected to achieve the increase. The study concludes that the use of electronic monitoring is a desirable and feasible alternative to traditional incarceration.
