1 Electronic Monitoring: what’s in it for UK policing?
Chief Superintendent Dave Wharton Senior Police Adviser, Centre for Applied Science & Technology (CAST) 12th December 2014

2 Electronic Monitoring
Just to be clear... Three kinds of EM – all involve offender wearing a tag (generally ankle tag) EM curfews (coerced) – residence based – used within England and Wales for last 15 years EM tracking (and exclusion) – coerced (Court order or requirement of prison release) – not yet well established within the UK EM tracking (and exclusion) – voluntary (today’s presentation)

3 Electronic Monitoring
UK policing current usage? Most of 43 forces in England and Wales Voluntary, not coerced use Small cohorts of prolific and priority offenders Partnership with others: probation, Crown Prosecution Service, Courts, drug treatment, housing, education, employers, voluntary sector etc... Nationwide number... 1,000+ cases at any one time? [Note: the daily caseload is in the region of at any one time]

4 Electronic Monitoring
Benefits for the offender Potential avoidance of custody Less ‘police attention’ Protection from routine suspicion by professionals Improved relationships with professionals Reassurance to family and friends Desistance from crime – physical and psychological deterrent Easier separation from criminal associates Rehabilitation?

5 Electronic Monitoring
Benefits for professionals/the public Less crime! Fewer victims of crime More efficient use of policing resources: Focus on non-tagged suspects Less investigation time against tracked subjects Daily data comparisons against crime time/locations Good evidence when they have committed crime... Avoidance of needless arrests Useful intelligence gathering on tracked subjects Assists police/probation in day to day management

6 Electronic Monitoring
Challenges... Tag on its own is not a panacea Deliberate damage to, or loss of tag Some changing of crime type, eg from burglary to shoplifting or drug dealing Battery charging Establishing a routine Implications for coerced tracking Managing public expectation
