Electronic tagging, e.g. via an ankle monitor • This approach requires convicts to wear devices that track their location (such as GPS ankle bracelets). Electronic monitoring (EM) technology is often used for individuals on parole or as an alternative to incarceration. Because individuals can be tracked from a remote location, it is cheaper and less invasive than alternatives that would require an officer to physically watch a person to make sure he’s obeying the conditions of his release (such as staying at home, or leaving only for work or school).

GPS tracking • A GPS tracking unit is a device, normally carried by a moving vehicle or person, that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to track the device’s movements, at intervals, and to determine its location, and its carrier. • The recorded location data can be stored within the tracking unit, or it may be transmitted to a central location database, or Internet-connected computer, using a cellular (GPRS or SMS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit. This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real time or when analysing the track later, using GPS tracking software. Data tracking software is available for smartphones with GPS capability II.

Physical surveillance • Physical surveillance is when thelaw enforcement agencie, watches the person in question. • There are many types of surveillance, but physical surveillance consists of hidden and occasionally undercover observation of a suspects day-to-day activities by one of our trusted, law enforcement agencie.

BURNING QUESTIONS • 1. Would-be criminals perceive a greater risk of being caught if they know they are being watched. • 2.
