Abstract

This article examines the legal nature and limitations of electronic monitoring and draws on the experiences of the United Kingdom and South Korea in classifying offenses and determining monitoring thresholds. Based on this analysis, it proposes an electronic monitoring matrix structured by offense category, risk level, and stage of legal proceedings. The framework establishes two technological thresholds: radio-frequency monitoring for low-risk individuals and GPS monitoring for high-risk individuals. The article also recommends strengthening the legal framework governing decision-making authority, alert verification, judicial oversight, and personal data protection to ensure that electronic monitoring is applied proportionately and effectively while minimizing the risk of abuse.

Keywords: Community-based offender management, electronic monitoring, offense classification.
