The Product
GOA Decision Support System is an Electronic Monitoring platform that guides you in effectively applying technologies under the umbrella of wearable and carriable Electronic Monitoring at the offence level. The software consists of three parts: an advice tool, a knowledge base and a manual or follow-up protocol.
Advice tool
Clearly structured and following a number of logical process steps, the advice tool draws up customised advice for each case.
Knowledge base
When composing the EM profile, one can make use of the knowledge database which contains scientific research and a FAQ.
Manual
The manual shows what actions to take based on technology, notification, risk and target group, and can be used as a follow-up protocol.
Intensify or reduce
Additionally, EM-profiles can be saved, evaluated and when desired adjusted by intensifying or reducing the application of technologies.
An EM profile is created based on:
- Offences committed in the categories vice, violence, property and drugs;
- Legal Principles, such as proportionality and subsidiarity
- Outcomes of (previously) applied risk assessment in the specific case;
- The risk and protective factors, scope and intensity of the problem;
- An evaluation concerning the presence or absence of contraindications for the application of technologies;
- Offender characteristics and recidivism information based on literature and scientific research;
- An assessment of the case’s judicial past;
- The intended purpose of the application of the technologies and where applicable, the appropriate intensity.
Flexible and tailor-made
The design of GOA Decision Support System is tailor-made and can differ per jurisdiction. Nuances are made on the basis of the target group to which EM is to be applied, the technologies under the name of EM that are applicable or used in a country, the law and regulations, the offences for which EM can be applied and other ruling judiciary variables.
GOA Decision Support System is flexible and can be tailored to any Electronic Monitoring Programme.
