Project description

Little is known about the similarities of electronic monitoring and the prison sentence regarding their impact and severity. This project will try to fill this gap by examining the impact of EM and imprisonment on the convicts and their environment through experience research. We will use qualitative methodologies: a literature review and an empirical research with in-depth interviews with convicts and their environment.
