10th CEP Conference on Electronic Monitoring in Europe
Back to the Future
19-21 April 2016, Riga, Latvia
The first CEP electronic monitoring conference took place in 1998. At that time EM was a relatively new tool in the penal landscape and its use was limited to only a small number of countries. Much has changed since, EM is now used regularly in a large number of European jurisdictions and technological advances continue to improve its capabilities and increase the ways in which those caught up in criminal justice systems can be monitored.
At the same time, challenges and debates endure including ensuring that the technologies are robust and fit for purpose and that they are utilised appropriately in ways which are humane, ethical, fair and proportionate. The 10thCEP EM conference will take stock of the knowledge of, and experience with, using EM, identifying good practices whilst utilising this knowledge to have an informed debate about possible futures for EM.
