Post-script: Guide, guard and glue – Electronic monitoring and penal supervision

Summary/Abstract: This issue of the European Journal of Probation provides us with contemporary, considered and thoughtful analyses of the development of electronic monitoring (EM) in the context of penal sanctions and measures in five jurisdictions: Australia, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Scotland. The guest editor of this special issue – Professor Kristel Beyens – deserves great credit for pulling together such an interesting and important collection of papers. She has asked me – as someone deeply interested in penal supervision but to some extent detached from debates about EM – to offer some closing reflections. In what follows, I try to do that, not through any attempt to synthesise the analyses of these excellent papers, but rather simply by sharing the thoughts and questions they provoked in this reader.
