Delivering effective community supervision services has always 
been challenging; however, recent societal shifts have raised the 
stakes. Increased access to technology and corresponding increases 
in computer-facilitated crime have resulted in a greater number 
of tech-savvy individuals under supervision.

Managing a supervisee’s virtual presence can deter new 
crimes or help officers detect new crimes and monitor compliance 
with conditions of supervision, but it also can be used to identify 
problematic behaviors that should be addressed before a new crime 
occurs.
