한국 전자감독제도의 활용 확대방안

Abstract

It has been over 10 years since the introduction of the electronic supervision system in Korea. The foreign electronic supervision system has been operated mainly on home detention mainly for minor criminals to suppress prison overcrowding. However, Korea has become an unusual country that has introduced a method of supervising the trajectory of violent criminals such as sexual assault through GPS without going through the process of home detention. In the meantime, there were many difficulties during the 10 years of the operation of the system, but now it has achieved a significant reduction in the rate of homosexual recidivism of existing sexual assault criminals. The problem of overcrowding in Korea is already serious enough to receive an unconstitutional decision from the Constitutional Court. To solve this problem, it is necessary to add prisons, but there are significant budgetary constraints, and it is never easy to anticipate local residents' backlash against the new prison construction. This is not. In order to solve the problem of overcrowding, correctional authorities have recently implemented various policies, including the release of parole, but there are limitations in solving the fundamental problem of overcrowding. At this point, in the recent 10 years of experience in operating the electronic supervision system, opinions were raised to impose home detention for unsettled prisoners or paroleers, and finally, in January 2020, the Electronic Device Attachment Act passed the National Assembly. . Therefore, this study intends to examine the operational status of the home detention system in foreign countries and to examine the future use of the home detention system.
