Electronic Monitoring as an Alternative to Deprivation of Liberty in Jordanian and Emirati Law

Abstract

The study delves into the legislative and practical landscapes governing electronic monitoring within the legal frameworks of Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It meticulously examines the similarities and disparities between the legislative strategies employed by both nations, delineating how the UAE's approach encompasses a wider array of applications and more stringent penalties for infringements, contrasting with Jordan's more discretionary stance, particularly emphasizing misdemeanor sentences. Despite these nuanced distinctions, both jurisdictions confront hurdles in the efficacious implementation and regulation of electronic surveillance. The study extends recommendations aimed at legislative enhancements and refinements in both countries to confront these challenges and bolster the efficacy of electronic monitoring systems.
