The introduction of surveillance technology to the United States' criminal justice system is arguably the most significant development in criminal justice policy in the last 30 years. Forms of surveillance technologies, including Electronic Monitoring (EM) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), are quickly becoming a standard criminal justice tool used for the continuous control and punishment of offenders. It is, therefore, necessary to understand how technology is used in current criminal justice legislation and policy. Using California, Florida, Idaho, and Massacusetts as study sites, this dissertation will use a multi-method research design that includes archival analysis of offender legislation and offender management documents as well as analysis of interviews with parole officers, administrators, and offenders. Findings from the analysis of this data will help to answer the following questions: 1) What is meant by the "electronic monitoring" of paroled offenders as a criminal justice policy? 2) What is the relationship between the legislative intent and reality of electronic monitoring of paroled offenders? 3) How is GPS surveillance technology, allied with criminal justice policy, reshaping the (a) lives of parolees? (b) lives of parole officers? (c) operation of parole? and (d) operation of other criminal justice agencies?The findings from this research will deepen understanding of the relationship between surveillance technology and the criminal justice system. They will be informative for the development of policies regarding the use of such technologies in pursuit of the goals of the criminal justice system.

将监控技术引入美国刑事司法系统可以说是过去30年来刑事司法政策中最重要的发展。各种形式的监视技术，包括电子监测和全球定位系统，正在迅速成为用于持续控制和惩罚罪犯的标准刑事司法工具。因此，有必要了解技术在当前刑事司法立法和政策中的使用情况。使用加州，佛罗里达，爱达荷州和马萨诸塞州作为研究地点，本论文将使用多种方法的研究设计，包括档案分析罪犯立法和罪犯管理文件，以及分析与假释官，管理员和罪犯的访谈。分析这些数据的结果将有助于回答以下问题：1）作为刑事司法政策，对假释犯的“电子监控”意味着什么？2)对假释犯实行电子监控的立法意图与现实存在什么样的关系？3)GPS监控技术如何与刑事司法政策相结合，重塑假释犯的生活？(b)假释官的生活(c)假释的操作？及（d）其他刑事司法机构的运作？这项研究的结果将加深对监控技术与刑事司法系统之间关系的理解。它们将为制定关于利用这类技术实现刑事司法系统目标的政策提供信息。
