Download or read book Electronically Monitored Punishment written by Mike Nellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic monitoring (EM) is a way of supervising offenders in the community whilst they are on bail, serving a community sentence or after release from prison. Various technologies can be used, including voice verification, GPS satellite tracking and – most commonly - the use of radio frequency to monitor house arrest. It originated in the USA in the 1980s and has spread to over 30 countries since then. This book explores the development of EM in a number of countries to give some indication of the diverse ways it has been utilized and of the complex politics which surrounds its use. A techno-utopian impulse underpins the origins of EM and has remained latent in its subsequent development elsewhere in the world, despite recognition that is it less capable of effecting penal transformations than its champions have hoped. This book devotes substantive chapters to the issues of privatisation, evaluation, offender perspectives and ethics. Whilst normatively more committed to the Swedish model, the book acknowledges that this may not represent the future of EM, whose untrammelled, commercially-driven development could have very alarming consequences for criminal justice. Both utopian and dystopian hopes have been invested in EM, but research on its impact is ambivalent and fragmented, and EM remains undertheorised, empirically and ethically. This book seeks to redress this by providing academics, policy audiences and practitioners with the intellectual resources to understand and address the challenges which EM poses.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting primer on the growing trend of surveillance, monitoring, and control that is extending our prison system beyond physical walls and into a dark future—by the prize-winning author of Understanding Mass Incarceration “James Kilgore is one of my favorite commentators regarding the phenomenon of mass incarceration and the necessity of pursuing truly transformative change.” —Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow In the last decade, as the critique of mass incarceration has grown more powerful, many reformers have embraced changes that release people from prisons and jails. As educator, author, and activist James Kilgore brilliantly shows, these rapidly spreading reforms largely fall under the heading of “e-carceration”—a range of punitive technological interventions, from ankle monitors to facial recognition apps, that deprive people of their liberty, all in the name of ending mass incarceration. E-carceration can block people’s access to employment, housing, healthcare, and even the chance to spend time with loved ones. Many of these technologies gather data that lands in corporate and government databases and may lead to further punishment or the marketing of their data to Big Tech. This riveting primer on the world of techno-punishment comes from the author of award–winning Understanding Mass Incarceration. Himself a survivor of prison and e-carceration, Kilgore captures the breadth and complexity of these technologies and offers inspiring ideas on how to resist.
Download or read book Electronic Monitoring of Offenders written by Taylor Oren Depp and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Electronic Monitoring of Adult Offenders written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. 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.

Download or read book A Descriptive Study of the Emergence of Electronic Monitoring and Its Utilization Within the Criminal Justice System written by David K. Pelaez and published by . 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant overview of America’s defining human rights crisis and a “much-needed introduction to the racial, political, and economic dimensions of mass incarceration” (Michelle Alexander) Understanding Mass Incarceration offers the first comprehensive overview of the incarceration apparatus put in place by the world’s largest jailer: the United States. Drawing on a growing body of academic and professional work, Understanding Mass Incarceration describes in plain English the many competing theories of criminal justice—from rehabilitation to retribution, from restorative justice to justice reinvestment. In a lively and accessible style, author James Kilgore illuminates the difference between prisons and jails, probation and parole, laying out key concepts and policies such as the War on Drugs, broken windows policing, three-strikes sentencing, the school-to-prison pipeline, recidivism, and prison privatization. Informed by the crucial lenses of race and gender, he addresses issues typically omitted from the discussion: the rapidly increasing incarceration of women, Latinos, and transgender people; the growing imprisonment of immigrants; and the devastating impact of mass incarceration on communities. Both field guide and primer, Understanding Mass Incarceration is an essential resource for those engaged in criminal justice activism as well as those new to the subject.
