GPS expansion pilot evaluation

Product Description

This report presents findings of the Evaluation of the GPS expansion pilot, a pilot testing the expansion of the use of electronic monitoring (EM) as a condition of immigration bail. The pilot started in June 2022 and was extended until December 2023. This report presents findings based on data of individuals who joined the pilot between June 2022 and October 2023.

The pilot involved monitoring 2 groups of individuals undergoing immigration bail: 1) tagged individuals experiencing EM and traditional face-to-face reporting; and 2) a control group experiencing traditional reporting only. This evaluation compares information about the behaviours of these 2 groups to understand if EM had an impact on compliance.
