  Die elektronische Fußfessel wird am Fuß- oder Handgelenk des Verdächtigten befestigt. Sie sendet Radiowellen aus, die von einem Kontrollgerät im Haus aufgefangen und per Telefon an Polizei oder Justizbehörden weitergemeldet werden. Verläßt der Täter das Haus, schlägt das Gerät Alarm. Die Fessel läßt sich nicht abstreifen, ihre Energie bezieht sie aus einer wasserdicht verpackten Batterie. Um Manipulationen zu verhindern, wechselt das Gerät ständig die Frequenzen und löst beim Versuch des Abstreifens Alarm aus. Der Arrest in den eigenen vier Wänden ist trotz des technischen Aufwandes erheblich günstiger als ein Gefängnisaufenthalt. In Berlin und Hamburg starten bald erste Versuche für Täter, die zu Haftstrafen bis zu sechs Monaten verurteilt wurden.

  House arrest with electronic monitoring.
A comparative legal and empirical study in Sweden and Germany

 
  The aim of the study is a comparative legal analysis of the sanction systems in Sweden and Germany, in which the main focus is the regulation of house arrest through electronic monitoring in Sweden. In a further step, the results of an empirical study on electronic monitoring in Sweden and Germany from 1998 will be presented. In conclusion, the problems which arise by applying the Swedish model to German conditions, as well as perspectives for an introduction of electronic house arrest will be discussed.

Since 1997, a controversial debate on electronic monitoring can be observed in politics, science and practice. After the city-state of Berlin in that year proposed a bill to the upper house of parliament Bundesrat on testing electronic monitoring in Germany, the house legal committee adjourned a decision. As a result, a working group consisting of seven states was formed to deal with the range of possible uses of electronic monitoring. The legal committee in June 1999 voted for the bill, following publication of the working group`s final report in April 1999. The Bundesrat introduced the bill to parliament on 9 July 1999. The state of Baden-Württemberg is considering testing electronic monitoring as an alternative to imprisonment for non-payment of fines. Hesse intends to test this method as a probation rule. Since the beginning of 1998, there has been at the federal level an expert committee to amend the penal system. In the spring of 1999, electronic monitoring was also on its agenda. In Sweden, the trial has met with great approval. An experiment was started in six probation districts from 1 August 1994, and extended to include the entire country from 1 January 1997. Since 1999, the so-called intensive supervision with electronic monitoring has become a permanent alternative to serving prison sentences up to three months.

Work report 1998:
For written questioning, a survey was developed to investigate attitudes of experts in the penal system and correctional service. The questionnaire corresponds to the different basic legal conditions in Germany and Sweden. The designed study aims to explore and ascertain attitudes of practitioners on electronic monitored house arrest using questionnaires in Sweden and Germany. As a result, the expectations in Germany can be compared with experiences made in Sweden and interpreted. In a first step, a quantitative written survey was carried out in Germany in April/May and July/August. This was followed in August/September by the study in Sweden.

aa) Written survey in Germany In spring, a total survey was carried out among penal judges at county and district courts, prosecutors, prison governors, as well as probation officers in the state of Lower Saxony. The response rate out of 1,169 questionnaires was 45% (541 questionnaires). In cooperation with the association of probation service Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Bewährungshilfe (LAG) in Berlin, the survey was extended to 140 probation officers organized in the LAG. 52 probation officers (37.1%) responded. The data input was finished in September.

bb) Written questioning in Sweden After a pre-test in Linköping and Norrköping, and with the support of the Swedish prison and probation administration, the written survey took place in summer. As in Lower Saxony, a total survey among penal judges, correctional group superintendents, correctional group leaders and probation officers was arranged. 440 persons answered out of a total of 817 persons, which represents a response rate of 54%. The data input ended in December.

Working plan 1999:
For 1999, the evaluation of the German and Swedish data is planned. Then the comparative analysis of the results from Germany and Sweden will follow. The research report is expected to be completed in 2000.
