Description of  Electronically Monitored Punishment: International and Critical Perspectives

Since the 1980s, electronic monitoring has been successfully introduced in a number of countries worldwide. Much of the literature on electronic monitoring has been produced by officials and researchers directly involved in the implementation of experimental electronic monitoring programs and has been subject to little critical scrutiny. This book addresses the broader factors in the development of electronic monitoring. Drawing on recent developments in the sociology of punishment and crime control, this book will assist in developing a critical criminological perspective on electronic monitoring in select countries around the world.
