Abstract

resocialization of the offender is the electronic monitoring institution. This method of punishment, which is an alternative to the use of prison, is one of the emerging methods that has recently found its place in the legal literature. Among the goals that electronic monitoring pursues, we can mention the rehabilitation of criminals and the reduction of the negative points of the traditional form of implementing imprisonment. Algeria, as the first Arab country and the second African country to use this new establishment, is one of the pioneers of using electronic monitoring systems in Islamic countries. In Australia, considering the dominance of the common law legal system, it can be seen that in each state of this country, there is a different approach to using this governing institution, and the study of these different approaches can be effective in understanding the disadvantages and advantages of this emerging institution, in order to make it useful. In Iran, the aforementioned model has also been introduced into the criminal justice system since 2013. The novelty of using this model of punishment execution can indicate the existence of shortcomings in the implementation of this method in the Iranian judicial system. With all the positive features of implementing this model, challenges such as high cost, violation of individuals' privacy, lack of deterrence, etc. can be imagined in its implementation. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library resources, has conducted a simultaneous evaluation of the conditions for using electronic monitoring in Algeria, Iran, and Australia in order to identify similarities and differences, introduce the advantages and disadvantages of each. Finally, the present study, by examining the implementation of the electronic monitoring system in the aforementioned countries, offers suggestions such as training of officials and creating a medical record when using this method, etc.
