Abstract

Electronic monitoring through the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) controls criminals from a distance. It also offers the possibility of their regulated and limited presence in society while serving their punishment. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, this article aims to analyze the effects of electronic monitoring of parents on children's personality development and the continuity of criminals' family lives. According to the study's findings, electronic monitoring can serve as a family-oriented judicial decision. It represents a more advanced implementation of the principle of personalization of criminal responses and confines the punishment's side effects to the offender. Because electronic monitoring is associated with considering the offender's personality, capacity, responsibility, and role in the family, it can provide a foundation for the performance of their normal family functions and respect for the rights of other family members. Ideally, it can result in family self-sufficiency, healthy personality development of children, and the continuity of family life. In cases where the offender under electronic monitoring is far removed from their family, it can protect the family from potential inappropriate behaviors of the offender and provide a foundation for suitable interaction between them and family members in the future.
