Maybe they will find some way to get the device loose, and then they can leave the house and no one will know until they are long gone, because the device will still be there, sending out its signal that the offender is still in the house. While this is not a common or expected occurrence, there is a certain lack of safety and security that comes with having a criminal under 'house arrest' in the neighborhood, instead of in jail where he is watched all of the time (Bowman, 1996)
Unfortunately, getting tough seemed to mean building more jails and putting more people behind bars, not allowing them to stay at home and watch TV all day and wear a bracelet. Getting tough did not include strapping an anklet to someone and allowing them to go to work and the grocery store and the movies like everybody else (Carbado, 2002)
The rationale for this study is to show that this is in fact the case and that DUI crimes convictions also fall into this concern over racial disparity and sentencing guidelines which are harsh on some and allow others more leniency in sentencing, as well as to show how electronic monitoring of DUI-convicted individuals affects their recidivism rate. Literature Review Over the last decade, the electronic monitoring of criminals has become increasingly popular as communities strive to find ways to protect the public amid budgetary constraints and prison overcrowding (Coker, 2003)
Instances like that one do not help an industry that is already struggling with safety and security objections from the public (Berk & Campbell, 1993). In strict opposition to the above information, an article written for American Behavioral Scientist just one year before the Vogelstein article came out states that electronic monitoring is becoming extremely popular, and is one of the most popular sanctions currently used in the United States (Elrod & Brown, 1996)
The cost of the equipment that must be worn and installed in the offender's home must also be considered. Often, however, the offender pays a certain amount per day to have his monitored freedom instead of a jail cell, and this pays for the cost of the equipment and technology required to monitor him (Papy, 1994)
Along with that concern, and the concern for the safety of the community, comes the realization that building prisons means creating jobs for people in the area. Even though people say that they don't want to live near a prison, they keep building more, and electronic monitoring is not growing at anywhere near the rate it was originally expected to (Vogelstein, 1997)
" He suggests that when a lot of evidence is put together then it is possible to reasonably estimate recidivism. A number of studies covered within the international literature that focus on recidivism rates of adult sex offenders and this large body of research has very clear findings: a large percentage of sexual criminals and those who are seriously violent have not been convicted previously convicted of violet or sexual offences and are not reconvicted for violent and sexual offending (Fitzgerald, 2006)
Years before 1980, evaluations of psychological treatments for sex offenders indicated that they had no or little effect on reducing recidivism. The style of the treatment programs were psychotherapeutic in nature and were aimed at offenders gaining getting an insight into why they perpetrate sexual offences (McSherry, 2006)
The apparently simple question, "does sex offender treatment work?" may not be as simple as it sounds. The apparently low base rates of sex offender recidivism forms part of the difficulty of evaluating treatment effects for sex offenders, this is complicated by the low recorded rates even among offenders who have not been treated making it difficult to find statistically significant treatment effect (Simon and Zgoba, 2006)
In a review of almost 300 evaluations of correctional programs during 35 years, general cognitive-based programs were estimated to reduce recidivism by 8%, therapeutic communities by 6%, and cognitive-behavioral treatment programs for sex offenders in prison by 15%. (Aos, Miller, & Drake, 2006 cited in: Wormith, et al
64) Because of the high prevalence of drug offenders the most common form of rehabilitation offered to adult prisoners prior to re-entry are drug-abuse treatment programs with the most commonly used "and thoroughly researched prison-based, psychosocial treatment being that of the "therapeutic community (TC)." (Wormith, et al
Reported are existing programs of two types: (1) institution programs; and (2) parole/community programs. (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation -- Expert Documents, Part II, 2010, p
That is based upon the probability of evidence being truthful and accurate. (Kates, 2007) (Peterjisilia, 2002) If it is determined that they are in violation these terms the offender could be: sent to jail, disciplined through increased supervision or returned to similar kinds of supervision

This is leading to arguments that the status quo is practicing a form of cruel and unusual punishment (by not providing adequate resources for these programs). (Rosenthal, 2011) (Kates, 2007) (Widener, 2007) Furthermore, the costs of incarcerating someone are dramatically higher than having them properly supervised

As they have limited amounts of time to interact with everyone. (Andrews, 2010) Furthermore, Raphael (2011) and Shepherd (2013) found that there were other factors which impacted recidivism rates among African-Americans
The impact this is having on a CBT therapy group, is to make it more difficult to understand and address critical problems. (Bellair, 2011) Moreover, Andrews (2010) found that the target population group has very little support in dealing with a number of issues
Once they are released from prison or placed on probation, the odds of them committing another crime are double in contrast with other population groups. (Kury, 2011) To fully understand why this is occurring requires examining the root causes of the problem
However, they are overwhelmed with other cases and may not have the time or resources to make a difference. (Raphael, 2011) (Shepherd, 2013) References Andrews, D
