RT Article T1 Measuring Electronic Monitoring Tools: The Influence of Vendor Type and Vendor Data JF American journal of criminal justice VO 36 IS 1 SP 17 OP 28 A1 Blackwell, Brenda Sims A2 Payne, Brian K.

Given this shift, it is necessary to explore whether agency employees perceive that different vendors are providing levels or quality of services. This study indicates that parole officers perceive very few real differences in the monitoring services, equipment used, and ease of installation and deactivation of such equipment across two different vendors. The primary difference identified was in the costs of such services. K1 Private vendors K1 Evaluation K1 Electronic Monitoring DO 10.1007/s12103-010-9100-4
