Abstract

This paper explores the challenges in protecting minors' privacy during community-based electronic monitoring in Vietnam. Through comparative analysis of international experiences (EU, USA, Japan) and a review of Vietnamese law, the research identifies significant legal gaps in data collection limits, storage, and independent oversight. Findings highlight the need for specific legal frameworks to safeguard minors’ privacy, aligned with international standards. The paper proposes concrete legislative reforms to ensure that electronic monitoring balances public security needs with children's fundamental rights.
