| Research Abstract |
The Electronic Monitoring (hereafter EM) originally has been developed as the tool to reduce prison population.The EM however is not effective to reduce prison population, on the contrary, the number of prisoners keeps rising after intoroducing EM in European countries and the United States ( what is called, Net-Widening'). In addition the EM system fails to rehabilitate offenders.
The EM has not reduced the cost of criminal justice , contrary to the aim of authority, the EM in itself costs high. After all, this study challenges all the existing optimistic discussions about EM.
