How Technology Improves Supervision Outcomes

In the last 50 years, courts in the United States have increasingly used emerging technology to assist in managing those who are under supervision. These technologies include new forms of monitoring, alcohol / drug testing, computer information systems, remote reporting, and global positioning systems. Recent studies have found that these technological approaches can reduce supervision costs and recidivism.  JSI Co-President David Wallace and JSI Vice-President Mack Jenkins will moderate a focus group on the use of criminal justice technologies and how technology can improve supervision in a Treatment Court.
