This study of the electronic monitoring program pilot project operated by the Fort Wayne, Indiana Family Relation's Division of the Superior Court was undertaken during the months of October 1987 through June 1988. The findings indicate juveniles can successfully complete a six month placement on electronic monitoring. The program helped juveniles avoid committing criminal acts and associating with delinquent prone youth while under supervision. Surveillance officers were able to make program participants realize that they would be held responsible for their actions.
