Abstract

This study examines the legitimacy of the electronic surveillance system in Korea, and hurriedly passed the Electronic Surveillance System Act on September 1, 2008, as violent crimes continue to occur recently. These electronic surveillance systems implement harsh punitive policies aimed at monitoring and isolating certain criminals, but serious debates, effective tests, and side effects were not studied before the law was passed, and even before the electronic surveillance system was implemented, it contributed a lot to reducing social protection and recidivism rates by extending the implementation period and expanding the category of criminals, but despite these positive aspects, legal issues and operational problems have been found to have created negative aspects. In order to increase the efficiency of the electronic monitoring system, problems such as infringement of basic rights under the constitution, double risks, operating budget, and manpower must be resolved first. In addition, the selection of electronic monitoring targets should not only consider systematic secondary crime risk assessment criteria (K-SORAS), but also converge with each government department to achieve the purpose of this law.
