In 2019, RMS Éditions/Médicine & Hygiène published the book entitled Le bracelet électronique: action publique, pénalité et connectivité [The electronic bracelet: public action, penality and connectivity] as part of the book series of Déviance et Société, one of the leading French-language journals in criminology. This book offers a kaleidoscopic overview of themes around electronic monitoring (EM) that were researched and/or published in other languages (e.g. English, Dutch) during the recent decades. After an extensive chapter explaining the purpose of the book and the choice of selected themes, 11 different contributions are provided by a select international group of authors, from the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, and Germany. These contributions are divided into three main parts, namely, (1) Le bracelet électronique comme solution d’action publique et comme marché [The electronic bracelet as a solution for public action and as a market]; (2) Le bracelet électronique comme peine et instrument de surveillance [The electronic bracelet as punishment and monitoring instrument]; and (3) La surveillance électronique comme dispositif sociotechnique de surveillance [Electronic surveillance as a sociotechnical surveillance device]. In the first part of the book, Lilly & Thomas analyze the emergence and evolution of the Electronic Monitoring (EM) market in the United States (1. Prendre la mesure du marché de la surveillance électronique aux États-Unis [Taking on the issues of the electronic monitoring market in the United States]). They see great similarities with the “prison-industrial complex” (or “penal-commercial complex”) and the characteristic interdependence between the public sector and the private market. In the United States, EM experienced a strong advance (in frequency of use) in the mid-1980s. Whereas it was applied in 21 states in 1987, it became used in 44 states 2 years later. It is however difficult to estimate the size and value of the EM-market. Moreover, the figures for this market, and by extension the whole correctional market, are very different (due, among other things, to a lack of clarity regarding the field of application (State and/or federal level), different definitions of correctional costs, etc.). Nevertheless, it appears that EM represents only a fraction of the overall “correctional cake.” Indeed less than 1% of the total number of persons under judicial supervision are monitored electronically.

书评：Lévy R、Dumoulin L、Kensey A 和 Licoppe C (eds)、Le手镯电子：action publique、pénalité et connectivité

2019 年，RMS Éditions/Médicine & Hygiène 出版了名为 Le手镯 électronique: action publique, pénalité et connectivité [电子手镯：公共行动、惩罚和连通性] 的书，作为 Déviance et Société 丛书的一部分犯罪学法语期刊。本书对近几十年来以其他语言（例如英语、荷兰语）研究和/或出版的电子监控 (EM) 主题进行了万花筒般的概述。在解释了本书的目的和选定主题的选择的广泛章节之后，来自美国、英国、比利时、法国和德国的精选国际作者小组提供了 11 种不同的贡献。这些贡献分为三个主要部分，即，(1) Le手镯 électronique comme solution d'action publique et comme Marché [电子手镯作为公共行动和市场的解决方案]；(2) Le手镯 électronique comme peine et instrument de monitoring [作为惩罚和监控工具的电子手环]；(3) La monitoring électronique comme dispositif socialtechnique de monitoring [电子监视作为社会技术监视设备]。在本书的第一部分，Lilly & Thomas 分析了美国电子监控 (EM) 市场的出现和演变 (1. Prendre la mesure du Marché de la monitoring électronique aux Éta​​ts-Unis [Taking on issues美国的电子监控市场]）。他们看到了与“监狱-工业综合体”（或“刑事-商业综合体”）以及公共部门和私人市场之间特有的相互依存关系的巨大相似之处。在美国，新兴市场在 1980 年代中期经历了强劲的进步（使用频率）。1987 年它在 21 个州使用，2 年后在 44 个州使用。然而，很难估计新兴市场的规模和价值。此外，这个市场以及整个惩教市场的数字非常不同（除其他外，由于应用领域（州和/或联邦层面）缺乏明确性，惩教费用的不同定义， 等等。）。尽管如此，EM 似乎只占整体“修正蛋糕”的一小部分。” 事实上，在司法监督下的总人数中，只有不到 1% 受到电子监控。经济的全球化和（国际）网络的发展，以及 977226 EJP0010.1177/2066220320977226European Journal of ProbationBook review 2020
