TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of using electronic monitoring (EM) as a supervision tool for violent male parolees was examined by comparing those who were mandated to such supervision who were released in fiscal year 1996 (N = 128) to a random sample who did not receive such supervision (N= 158) and found that EM had no direct effect on the likelihood of recommitment to prison or time to failure within four years of release.
