Electronic Monitoring

This 234 page book offers a thorough review of electronic monitoring of offenders from the American Probation & Parole Association (APPA). It starts from a premise that technological changes and social changes go hand -in-hand and proceeds to explore how electronic monitoring is changing the field of Community Corrections. The book's stated intention is to provide community corrections agencies with the needed information to aid their decision-making process regarding implementing, adjusting, and maintaining or eliminating an electronic supervision component, but not to provide a complete assessment of each kind of monitoring technology.
