Pretrial GPS Supervision of Intimate Partner Violence Defendants (Western Region, United States)
This is an electronic tracking intervention with a GPS system to monitor persons accused of violence against women. The objective is to reduce revictimization and non-compliance with requirements, such as recurrent non-appearance in court.
Participants are informed about constant monitoring and the need to attend court and case management meetings with supervisors. Electronic monitoring involves the determination of exclusion zones, which correspond to the victim’s routine environment (home, children’s school, work).
