What are the results?

In this report, a group of inmates who served the final part of their sentence via the EM-release programme are compared with a comparable (matched) control group in order to study possible differences in relation to reoffending. The report also includes a presentation of "front door" electronic tagging which is based on a study conducted by Tommy Andersson Ph.D.
