Perception and reality don’t always align.

Across Europe, electronic monitoring is evolving rapidly, shaping how justice is delivered, experienced, and understood. But how closely do public perceptions reflect the realities faced by practitioners, victims, and communities?

From 6–8 October 2026 in Antalya, the 14th Electronic Monitoring Conference will bring these questions into focus under the theme:
“Electronic Monitoring in a Changing World – Perception versus Reality.”

Join colleagues from across the field to explore evidence, lived experience, and the human dimension behind digital tools in justice.

🚨Less than two weeks to go🚨
