The cost-effectiveness of electronic monitoring.: PS83-5/R430E-PDF

"The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) conducted a three-year national Electronic Monitoring (EM) Research Pilot to examine its effectiveness in promoting positive community outcomes for federal offenders while maintaining public safety.
