Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 11 page paper examining GPS-based electronic monitoring of offenders. The concept of “house arrest” is an old one and in the past was accomplished by placing armed guards outside the residence of the detainee. Early forms of electronic monitoring focused on ensuring that the detainee remain in a specific location. Today’s capabilities allow the offender to work, and also alert police when s/he is not where s/he is supposed to be. Not only do today’s GPS-based systems alert police to such information, they also provide the offender’s exact location. There are questions of “fairness” of such tight control, but offenders’ alternative is prison, where they are expensive guests of the state and the state’s taxpayers. The present generation of electronic monitoring devices allow police to control offenders’ actions while offenders support themselves. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

and local law enforcement also does not trust the man to have dealt with his psychological problems. As he is out walking one day, he is drawn to a
school playground and yields to the temptation. Only minutes after he arrives at the school playground and long before he can act on his impulses, a patrol car arrives
and police officers remove the man from the area. This is a scenario presented in an installment of the BBCs series, "Life of
Crime" (n.d.) and highlights the use of electronic monitoring of a variety of types of people. It is a technological advance that enables the scenario to be reality.
