A Critical Review of the New Electronic Monitoring System for Some Sexual Criminals

&nbsp;&nbsp;My purpose, in this essay, is to review the newly institutionalized electronic monitoring system for some sexual criminals. For this, first of all, I oversee the new Electronic Monitoring Law. Then, I extract two legal issues concerning the Constitutional Law. That is, the Prohibition of Double Jeopardy and the Protection of Privacy.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Next, I analyze the content of the new law and research other related problems for the solution of the above two legal issues. These include, in detail, who is to be monitored electronically, the recidivism rate of sexual crimes, and other provisions and the real amount of the punishment of sexual criminals. Through this analysis, I want to clarify that the electronic monitoring is not only a security treatment for the prevention of second offenses, but also a kind of intensive punishment. Finally, what is needed for diminishing sexual crimes, I argue, is not to make new sort of treatment or sentence heavier punishment but to increase the arrest and punishing rate of sexual crimes by making the investigating process more efficient and giving the victims better protection.
