Conferences & Workshops on Electronic Monitoring in Europe (EN)

This series of conferences and national workshops provided an opportunity to hear about, and engage with, the findings of the European Commission funded project entitled ‘Creativity and Effectiveness in the use electronic monitoring (EM) as an alternative to imprisonment in EU member states’. The research was carried out in five jurisdictions (Belgium, England & Wales, Germany, the Netherlands and Scotland) providing up-to-date analysis of current and future uses of EM in each jurisdiction as well as insights gained from the first comparative EM research in the EU. At each event the main findings of the comparative and relevant jurisdictional research were presented and critical reflections were provided by academic experts, policy-makers and practitioners.

Conferences

Conferences have taken place in Brussels (18th February 2016) and London (17th March 2016). The aim of the conferences was to discuss the findings of the research and inform recommendations on best practice to enhance effectiveness of electronic monitoring whilst ensuring its legal, ethical and humane use across the EU. Both conferences focused on the comparative research findings with a greater emphasis on the findings from England, Wales and Scotland at the London conference.
