Parallel Workshops
The use of electronic monitoring (EM) is rising. As the number and diversity of wearers increases new challenges present themselves for using it well. EM can be habit breaking and assist with the custody-community transition, however these positive possibilities are likely to be lost if EM is not used responsively and fairly. This presentation will discuss the current deployment of EM which limits its effectiveness and rehabilitative and reintegrative potential. It will then explore how EM can be used well, by making it more responsive and fair, thereby catering better for the diversity of wearers.
