GPS monitoring technologies and domestic violence : an evaluation study Edna Erez, Peter R. Ibarra, William D. Bales & Oren M. Gur - 2012 - electronic document (245 pages); PDF file: 7.65 MB
This is a research report submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice, available on the NCJSR website. "This study examines the implementation of Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring technology in enforcing court mandated “no contact” orders in domestic violence (DV) cases, particularly those involving intimate partner violence (IPV). The research also addresses the effectiveness of GPS as a form of pretrial supervision, as compared to other conditions in which
defendants are placed. The project has three components:
First, a national web-based survey of agencies providing pretrial supervision reported on patterns of GPS usage, as well as the
advantages, drawbacks, and costs associated with using GPS for DV cases. The results indicate a gradual increase in agencies’ use of GPS technology for DV cases since 1996, primarily to enhance victim safety and defendant supervision." (From the abstract). Record #4990
