Question

Which of the following is NOT a level of home monitoring?

Answer 1

Answer:

d. electronic monitoring

Explanation:

Home monitoring in its simplest term is the act of restricting the movement of an entity, object or an individual to a specified location, usually their homes.

In criminology, there are various levels of home monitoring. Some of them are;

i. Curfew: This type of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at specified hours.

ii. Home incarceration: This level of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except in times of medical urgencies.

iii. Home detention: This seems to be one of the less strict forms of home monitoring. It requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except when necessary. For example, they could go to school, their workplace, to the market and so on.

Electronic monitoring is not a form of home monitoring as it allows the person being monitored to move freely. They might just contacted via telephone or any other means, at intervals to know their whereabouts.
