- Authors
Webb, John
- Abstract
The article discusses the study about absconders that was undertaken by the Cook County Sheriff's Department in Illinois. The study addresses the legal issues involving the use of electronic monitoring and the possible deterrence effect of sanctioning those who abscond. An overview of an electronic monitoring program of the department has been provided as well as the different cases showing that the Sheriff's office lacks any additional power to impose penalties for absconding.
