In terms of “marking†offenders, the GPS-based global surveillance system (EM) is replacing the old-fashioned radio frequency (RF) system, allowing some criminals to execute penalties outside the prison.
According to a report released by research firm Berg Insight, the judicial systems in Europe and North America have not yet fully utilized the electronic supervision (EM) system. In 2016, the number of people involved in the implementation of electronic supervision in these areas was only 180,000.
According to Berg Insight's report, although electronic surveillance systems have been in use for more than a decade in most countries, they are still relatively rare in disciplinary systems in Europe and North America.
Prison is overcrowded
According to the US Department of Justice, the number of prisoners in the United States exceeded 2.2 million in 2013. In addition, more than 4.7 million criminals were on probation or parole. A study by the European Commission showed that the UK was the country with the largest population of prisoners in the European Union. As of September 2015, there were approximately 95,729 people in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland being jailed.
Proponents of e-regulatory say these e-regulatory systems provide additional tools for traditional community regulation that increase accountability for offenders, reduce recidivism rates, and strengthen public safety systems.
Compared with prisons, electronic surveillance systems cost the government much less. For those criminals with relatively low public safety risks and the prevalence of prison overcrowding, electronic surveillance systems are very suitable for them.
Berg Insight believes that the market for electronic regulatory (EM) equipment and services is in a period of rapid growth and will continue. The market value of European electronic regulation (including equipment, software and outsourcing services) was €161 million in 2016 and is expected to reach €305 million in 2021. At the same time, the electronic regulatory market in North America will grow from $535 million in 2016 to $851 million in 2021.
According to the report, the use of electronic surveillance systems is driven primarily by pre-trial and parole regulation and the further adoption of sexual crimes.
Application of GPS positioning system
Berg Insight analysts said that in recent years, the application of GPS positioning technology has grown rapidly in North America, and GPS-based IoT devices now account for more than 70% of electronic regulatory devices. However, in Europe, equipment used for family detention curfew schemes is still dominated by radio frequency (FR) systems. Despite this, the GPS positioning regulatory system will become more and more popular throughout European jurisdictions.
The combination of GPS data and clever analysis systems opens up a more detailed door to regulation that goes beyond the simple detention of the family to kill chickens. For example, in the UK, the Justice Department is experimenting with GPS tags that are fixed on the prisoner's ankles to enforce restricted area supervision, such as in specific areas, football fields or train stations, airports or city centers. A monitoring center that works 24 hours a day, recording the daily behavior of the tag offender and responding to alerts when rules are violated.
Berg Insight analyst Frederick said: "In recent years, the decline in the cost of IoT hardware and mobile networking has further promoted the adoption of GPS-based electronic surveillance systems in North America."
He added: "Software may play an increasingly important role in determining the winner of this market. Suppliers are increasingly focusing on the development of analytics software to provide police support tools. In the future, these officers will face more Location data information, which comes from the growing IoT electronic surveillance device."
