This system stands out as one of the most contemporary alternatives that balances the goals of both general and specific deterrence, while also promoting the rehabilitation and social reintegration of offenders. The electronic bracelet, typically worn around the offender’s ankle, enables the relevant authorities to remotely track their movements via GPS technology, thereby allowing for the imposition of specific restrictions on their freedom without resorting to traditional imprisonment. The study highlights that this measure is based on voluntary consent, and helps reduce the negative effects of short-term imprisonment, while maintaining legal oversight and the punitive function of the sentence. Furthermore, this system reflects a modern reform-oriented approach that contributes to reducing prison overcrowding and rationalizing public spending. These advantages make it a powerful tool for advancing Algeria’s criminal justice policy, especially following its adoption by the legislator under Law No. 24-06.otherElectronic braceletcustodial sentenceLaw 24-06Law 18-01.Thesis
