Abstract

approving electronic monitoring institution in Article 62 of the Islamic Penal Code approved in 2013 and with the approval of the executive regulations of electronic monitoring in 2017, this institution began to operate officially and on a large scale. Now, one of the most important concerns is the quality of execution and the feedback of the convicts. Based on this, a questionnaire was designed and 100 electronic monitoring clients were interviewed in Alborz and South Khorasan provinces. The results of the analysis of the views of some jurists as well as the opinions of the convicts regarding the evaluated components are as follows:1- the weak people have the capacity of using them, but the possibility of employment during the participation in the program is accompanied by many hardships. 2- In technical matters: the technical condition of anklets is neither ideal nor unfavorable and planning should be done to increase the quality.3- In rehabilitation matters: provided that changes are made in the current regulations, the rehabilitation capacity of this institution can be used. 4- In relation to other social institutions: the convicts preferred electronic monitoring over the semi-liberal system, but no special superiority was identified compared to other institutions.
