Thursday, April 24th, 2025

11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. CST

Featured Speakers: 

Christine Dozier, Chief of the United States Pretrial District of New Jersey (retired)

Kevin T. Wolff, Ph.D. John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York, NY

Join us as we examine electronic monitoring (EM) as a condition of pretrial release and its role in evidence-based supervision.  We will explore current research finding and their implications on policy decisions while emphasizing the importance of aligning EM use individualized risk assessment and evaluating outcomes through rigorous methods.  Key benefits of EM use, such as enhancing public safety and reducing jail populations will be weighted against the challenges of net widening, financial burdens, and unintended punitive impacts on low-risk individuals.  We will also provide attendees with actionable policy recommendations and helpful resources followed by a Q&A to address challenges and reforms in EM policy and practice.
