Zusammenfassung

Vom 01. Oktober 2010 bis 30. März 2012 wurde in Baden-Württemberg der Einsatz der elektronischen Aufsicht im Vollzug der Freiheitsstrafe im Rahmen eines experimentell angelegten Modellprojekts erprobt. Das Gesetz über die elektronische Aufsicht im Vollzug der Freiheitsstrafe (EAStVollzG) in Baden-Württemberg ermöglichte die Anwendung der elektronischen Überwachung mittels GPS in den drei Anwendungsbereichen elektronisch überwachter Hausarrest als Entlassungsvorbereitung, elektronisch überwachte Vollzugslockerungen (Freigang) und elektronisch überwachter Hausarrest im Rahmen von Ersatzfreiheitsstrafen. Mit Abschluss der Begleitforschung werden im vorliegenden Aufsatz die Ergebnisse dieser experimentell angelegten Studie vorgestellt. Zunächst werden die Ergebnisse zur Implementation und Wirkungsevaluation des Modellprojekts dargestellt. Schließlich werden die Resultate der Rückfallanalyse nach Beendigung der Maßnahme theoretisch und empirisch aufbereitet und präsentiert.

Abstract

From October 2010 to March 2012, the use of electronic monitoring (EM) with GPS in the prison regime of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg was tested in a pilot project. The »Act on electronic monitoring during the enforcement of imprisonment« allowed for the use of EM in three areas of application: home detention instead of imprisonment for failure to pay a fine, home detention as a means of release preparation, and electronically supervised work release. With the termination of the evaluation project, the results of this RCT are presented in this paper. First, we present the results of the implementation and impact evaluation. Finally, this study analyses the recidivism-reducing effect of EM after the termination of the electronically monitored measures.
