“…In general, even people under EM conceives the measure as a much better alternative than prison (e.g. because it allows them to be in contact with the family) (Vanhaelemeesch, 2014: 13). However, this is not the same as regarding EM as a not punitive measure.…”

“…Research has shown the punitive impact of EM on the lives of those subjected to it (see e.g. Vanhaelemeesch, 2014 in Belgium; or Arenas García, 2017 in Spain). Research has also displayed that the experiences among wearers vary.…”

“…Research has also displayed that the experiences among wearers vary. For instance, monitored individuals’ perception is improved when EM is designed as a part of a broader individualised program aiming to reintegration (Vanhaelemeesch, 2014: 13). Consequently, it is possible to say that the impact or punitiveness of EM will depend on the legal design and implementation of the measure in each country.…”

Despite the fact that the use of electronic monitoring systems has grown across Europe and within each jurisdiction, comparative research on the matter is scarce. Previous studies have highlighted two relevant aspects. On one hand, the versatility of the measure, in the sense that different (even contradictory) objectives and functions can be attributed to it. On the other hand, the difficulty in measuring and comparing the intensity of its use in different countries. For these reasons, this work aims to compare the areas of implementation of electronic monitoring in two different countries: Spain and Belgium. By looking at the different uses of the measure, the objective is to demonstrate the premise electronic monitoring fits in various phases of the criminal proceeding. Moreover, the research also compares the punitiveness of the measure in both countries by making use of the elements highlighted by Hucklesby et al.. The findings show the difficulty of drawing definitive conclusions about its punitiveness mainly due to the adaptability of electronic monitoring.

“…Even though consent of cohabitants is no longer required for all cases of EM, the issue is an important one. Research by Vanhaelemeesch (2013aVanhaelemeesch ( , 2013bVanhaelemeesch ( , 2014Vanhaelemeesch ( , 2015, which investigated the experiences of EM with monitored individuals and their cohabitants, shows that cohabitants, to a large extent, also undergo the sentence, together with the monitored individuals, as they experience their liberty being limited in practice, owing to the EM measure. Moreover, the cohabitants play an important role in the success of the EM measure.…”

Electronic monitoring (EM) was introduced to Belgium in the late 1990s and ever since its use has been changing and expanding. The objectives and political discourse driving the introduction and expansion of EM have varied between encouraging (re) integration, solving the prison overcrowding and increasing the credibility of prison sentence execution. This article describes the evolution of EM and focuses on the shift from the EM-practice of balancing technical control and supervision towards the ever more expanding EM-use prioritising technical control. Where EM was formerly an individualised integrated measure in a broader rehabilitative framework, its use for a large number of prisoners has evolved towards the use of EM as a stand-alone measure. As such, we are witnessing a shift from 'active' to 'passive' reintegration for the majority of those being subjected to EM.
