What is it?

The purpose of this program is to develop and analyze information on the effectiveness of electronic monitoring of moderate- to high-risk offenders in order to inform and improve policy and practice in the area of community corrections supervision. The funding agency is particularly interested in projects that will utilize global positioning systems and/or other tracking technologies to track violent offenders.

Proposed projects should examine the use of electronic monitoring independently or in collaboration with other treatment programs. Experimental studies should incorporate a robust research design and should demonstrate the effectiveness of electronic monitoring in reducing recidivism of moderate- to high-risk offenders on probation or supervised release, even after the supervision period has ended.

Successful applicants should measure re-offending by:

  • New arrests
  • Convictions
  • Commitments
  • Revocations
  • Administrative warnings and sanctions
  • Absconding or escape from supervision

Priority will be given to proposals that focus on the monitoring of sex offenders. Special consideration will also be given to rigorous quasi-experimental designs and projects that include matched comparison groups, regression discontinuity, and other strong non-experimental designs. A cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness analysis should be included as well.
