科技設備監控屬於刑罰「中間制裁措施」由於具有合理的價格(成本)、可反轉性、可區分性、與現存的矯治方案與機構目標甚為相容等因素，而逐漸受到國外刑事司法制度的青睞，成為近年來相當熱門的犯罪控制策略之一。本文從國外現行方案經驗，探討科技設備監控預防累、再犯之目標是否容易幸成，繼而檢視我國現有環境對累、再犯之受保護管束人所提供之監督、輔導與其實施情形，進而從中反映出國內未來運用科技設備監控在執行上應興革事項。 本文主要採取之研究方法為「文獻探討法」及「比較研究法」，藉由蒐集國外具實施科技設備監控經驗國家之方案評估研究及相關文獻，來進行彙整分析比較，並將科技設備監控相關問題以不同的面向來進行可行性評估論述。本文評述架構包括:(一)立法例及法令規定方面;(二)適用對象及使用範圍方面;包括科技設備監控適用於毒品犯尿液受驗人、家庭暴力及性侵害犯罪加害人、暴力犯罪受保護管束人之可行性，以及適用於其他犯罪類型之選擇標準等;(三)成本效益分析及財務分析方面;及(四)使用者主觀感受方面。 評估研究結果發現:科技設備監控是具備可行性的。監控基間不能太長，大多數研究認為60至90天的長度是最有效的，一旦監控時間超過3個月，受監控者的順從度即會急遽下降。此外，科技設備監控被證實可有效作為一種傳統監禁刑的替代刑。而使用者主觀評述在各國間也普遍獲致支持，並有平均約8成的高滿意度。 適用對象評述方面，以科技設備監控來提升毒品犯到驗率是可行的，如以科技設備監控作為附屬配套措施，並結合以長期戒癮處遇計畫為主的組合方案則被證實極具成效。暴力犯罪方面，科技設備監控與傳統保護管束之間，在成效上並未出現顯著差異。家庭暴力案件方面，科技設備監控的確會改善加害人與被害人之間的互動狀況，然而所可能造成的心理作用以及緊張關係的影響則仍曖昧未明。性侵害犯罪方面，以科技設備監控結合現行身心治療與輔導教育制度是目前所知較佳的處遇方式，可有效提升到院治療率並防止接近可能的被害人而達到防止再犯的效果。

The Electronic Monitoring (EM) is a kind of intermediate sanctions in the criminal justice system. It is popular and to be one of the current crime control strategies with the characteristics of reasonable prices, reversibility, divisibility, and compatible with the goal of contemporary correction policy. Today, there are at least 15 countries introduced the EM program in the criminal justice system in the world. The interaction and integration between technology (e.g. EM) and criminal justice is ongoing. Some innovated EM legalisms included in a legislative bill named “Probation Code” in Taiwan recently. The spirits of these EM legalisms is to improve the community security, and the applicative targets will be the offenders with serious criminal offense, high recidivist rate, and high risk to danger the community. The EM is an innovated program in the criminal justice system in Taiwan, and there are no related experiments or studies of the topic. The aim of the study is to analyze the feasibility of EM program in Taiwan from perspective. By using literature review and collective comparison, the practical experiences, effects and evaluation researches of EM program of other countries were collected and analyzed. The perspectives of this study including: (1) the EM definition and kinds of devices; (2) the EM laws and legislation; (3) the EM applicative targets; (4) the cost-benefit and financial analysis; and (5) the opinions of the EM program related public. The EM applicative targets were divided and discussed by the types of offense, which including the drug abuser, domestic violence offender, sex offender, violent offender, and other unclassified offenders.
