The Electronic Supervision System in the Opinion of Convicts in Prisons

Journal Title: Resocjalizacja Polska - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 10

Abstract

The subject of the study is prisoners’ evaluation of the Electronic Supervision System (ESS). The author’s Questionnaire for Evaluating the Electronic Supervision System was used as a tool, which also contained a lie scale. The respondents’ mood was also controlled. To verify the formulated hypotheses, the method of diagnostic survey was adopted and methods of statistical and comparative analysis. Factor analysis demonstrated that the perception of the Electronic Supervision System does not come down to a unitary opinion – opinions about ESS are an incoherent construct, in which we can single out three factors: Negative Evaluations, Positive Evaluations and Stigmatization. It turned out that “non-elite” prisoners have a much higher intensity of Negative Evaluations of ESS than “elite” prisoners. In terms of Positive Evaluations and sensed Stigmatization, there were no significant differences found between non-elite and elite groups.
