This article discusses the use of electronic monitoring.
Abstract
The growing collection of evidence-based research reviews regarding criminal justice practices and programs is making an important contribution to the field in terms of identifying what works, what doesn't and what's promising. The purpose of this article will be to present the challenges and prospects associated with using evidence-based research reviews as a basis for promoting change in the application of electronic monitoring to individuals. In particular, the discussion will focus on how what has been learned about electronic monitoring from past reviews can inform the next generation of monitoring technologies for promoting offender change.
