Question 4

Which of the following individuals would most likely be successful on house arrest?

Accepted Answer

An employed offender would most likely be successful on house arrest because they have a stable routine and responsibility that can help them adhere to the conditions of their confinement. It also means they have a source of income which can help them support themselves during their sentence. Unemployed offenders may struggle with the isolation and lack of structured routine, while repeat offenders and divorced offenders may have additional risk factors that could make house arrest more challenging.

Question 5

A type of GPS system that stores data throughout the day and downloads data at night through a landline phone is a(n) __________ GPS system.

Accepted Answer

A passive GPS system does not transmit data in real-time, but rather stores it internally and requires manual downloading of the data, often through a landline phone connection. Active GPS systems transmit data in real-time, remote systems are typically accessed through a wireless or internet connection, and continuous systems transmit data constantly without need for manual downloading.

Question 6

Which of the following is one of the major problems associated with electronic monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Technical and electric problems, such as bad wiring, are among the major issues associated with electronic monitoring, affecting its reliability and effectiveness.

Question 7

Using 24 military satellites orbiting the earth to pinpoint the offender's exact location intermittently or at all times is called

Accepted Answer

The use of 24 military satellites orbiting the earth to pinpoint a person's exact location is called global position system monitoring. This system allows for intermittent or continuous tracking of a person's location in real-time, making it an effective tool for law enforcement and military operations. Home-based electronic monitoring is typically used for individuals on probation or parole and involves a tracking device installed in their residence. Remote-location monitoring and hybrid system monitoring are not specific terms used in this context.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Offenders on probation for sexual assault of children would likely have exclusion zones around areas where children congregate, such as schools, playgrounds, and other child-oriented places. Hotels, grocery stores, and restaurants may not be considered as high-risk areas for reoffending in this specific case.

Question 11

Which of the following is usually NOT one of the criticisms of house arrest?

Accepted Answer

House arrest programs are generally considered less expensive for the county or state to operate compared to incarceration in jails or prisons. The costs associated with monitoring an individual under house arrest (such as electronic monitoring) are typically lower than the costs of housing, feeding, and supervising an inmate in a correctional facility.

Question 12

Electronic monitoring is most often used for

Accepted Answer

Electronic monitoring is most often used for probationers as a way to supervise and ensure compliance with the terms of probation without requiring incarceration.

Question 13

A type of GPS system that transmit data through wireless networks used by cell phone is referred to as a(n) _______________ GPS system.

Accepted Answer

An active GPS system is one that requires a cellular network to transmit data. Passive GPS systems are standalone devices that do not require a network connection. Continuous GPS systems refers to the ability to track a moving object in real-time, which can be a characteristic of both active and passive systems. Remote GPS systems typically refer to systems that can be accessed and controlled from a distance, but it is not a type of GPS system transmission.

Question 14

Which nonresidential option would most likely be used for a pretrial detainee who required a lot of supervision?

Accepted Answer

A DRC (Day Reporting Center) would provide the necessary supervision for a pretrial detainee who requires a lot of supervision. These centers offer a range of services such as drug testing, counseling, and education programs while also providing close monitoring of the detainee's activities. GPS (Global Positioning System) and EM (Electronic Monitoring) are both options for monitoring the detainee's location but they do not provide the same level of supervision as a DRC. House arrest may also provide supervision but it would depend on the specific conditions set by the court.

Question 15

In the case of People v. Ramos, the courts found that

Accepted Answer

The court in People v. Ramos determined that house arrest for a pretrial detainee could not count as time served toward a conviction.

Accepted Answer

A day reporting center is a nonresidential program where offenders report for treatment programs and drug testing. They are based on a three-phase levels system where offenders move through the program as they progress in treatment. Work release centers provide offenders with job opportunities while they are incarcerated, therapeutic centers typically refer to inpatient facilities, and community restitution centers focus on community service as a form of punishment.

Question 17

Tracking objects using radio frequency signals has been possible since the __________.

Accepted Answer

Radio frequency signals were used to track objects in the 1920s, specifically in the field of aviation with radar technology. While radio frequency technology has advanced significantly since then, the statement only asks for when it became possible.

Question 18

Convicted offenders often are sentenced to house arrest coupled with

Accepted Answer

House arrest is often coupled with electronic monitoring, which involves the use of ankle bracelets that track the offender's movements and ensure that they remain within the confines of their home. Forfeiture, community service, and ISP (Internet Service Provider) are other forms of punishment that may be imposed on offenders, but are not typically associated with house arrest.

Question 19

Electronic monitoring typically operates through radio frequencies sent across

Accepted Answer

Electronic monitoring often uses radio frequencies transmitted through phone lines to track individuals.

Question 20

Offenders on GPS supervision may not enter certain areas, called _____, which are generally based on the crime committed and the characteristics of the offender.

Accepted Answer

Offenders on GPS supervision may be prohibited from entering certain areas, called exclusion zones, due to the nature of their crime and personal characteristics. These zones are intended to prevent offenders from coming into contact with potential victims or areas that could trigger criminal behavior.
