| dc.description.notes | General Overview: :This journal article looks at a study of women in two Midwestern jurisdictions of the United States, who were protected in their homes by electronic monitoring of their abusers. They found that the monitoring improved their feelings of safety because the criminal justice system responded to them in an individualised way.<br/ ><br/ >Interviews revealed that, prior to the BEM program, many women lived in constant fear, found protection orders ineffective and were considering leaving their home but found the option of moving to a shelter unpalatable. During the BEM program both the protected women and their friends and family felt more relaxed and at peace. They were also more visible within the criminal justice system and received personalised justice which validated the women’s experiences. The validation resulted in the women taking a more active role in the prosecution process and being more willing to inform and enlist support from employers, co-workers, neighbours and schools. The limitations of the system include the possibility of technical failure, the use of proxies to harass the protected person, the fact that the BEM does not prevent injury or homicide and the temporary nature of the BEM solution. | en |
