نظام الرقابة الإلكترونية في التشريع الجزائي الأردني و المقارن

Abstract EN

Electronic surveillance is the most important and prominent signs of depriva tion of freedom as it represent a new alternative of practical application of modern scientific techniques in the field of penal execution.

This system was emerged due to significant disadvantages generated from the deprivation of freedom according to the traditional penal methods.

This system is based on the execution of deprivation of freedom away from the penal institution, where the offender stays within his free social environment un der specific regulations.

He is obliged to reside in a particular place, and is subjected to some obligations to be followed.

The offender is kept under surveillance through placing an electronic bracelet around his wrist or at soles of the feet, throughout the period in which he is subjected to the surveillance, in order to ascertain the extent of his compliance with the imposed obligations.

Failing to comply with these obligations resulted in the abolition of the surveillance and the deprivation of his freedom in the penal institution.

This system is in force in much legislation of developed countries where the statistical data have pointed out that it has achieved success which makes it become one of the crucial benchmarks of the penal system.
