- Title
Surveillance and Confinement: Explaining and Understanding The Experience of Electronically Monitored Curfews.
- Abstract
The article analyzes several issues related to electronic monitoring (EM) technology for supervising offenders. It is stated that, there are four interrelated dimensions to EM-curfews which includes, the kind of daily living problems it posed for them, whether and how it deterred them from further crime, and whether it restricted their freedom. It is stated that, since the EM's allow a considerable amount of personal contact both with field monitoring officers, it cannot be termed just a technology, and moreover it is very much likely that the operation of the EM itself, can make for high levels of intrusiveness and disruption of daily life.
