Article Abstract:
Electronic monitoring of prisoners, designed in the mid-1980s to reduce jail populations, can improve when awareness about the versatility and utility of this method can be increased. Successful monitoring programs need continuing evaluation, and there is data to suggest this technique has more potential for rehabilitation than confinement in prison.
