Reducing prison overcrowding and safeguarding the human dignity of offenders constitute some of the most pressing challenges of contemporary criminal policy within modern systems of criminal justice. In Iran, this challenge has acquired particular urgency due to chronic prison congestion, the rising economic costs of incarceration, and the criminogenic consequences of short-term imprisonment. In this context, electronic monitoring has emerged as one of the most innovative alternatives to custodial sanctions, offering significant potential to reduce prison populations, generate economic savings, and enhance the social reintegration of offenders. Nevertheless, a fundamental question remains as to why—despite the existence of multiple upstream policy documents and regulatory instruments—electronic monitoring in Iran has largely remained limited in scope and quasi-experimental in nature, rather than developing into a stable and institutionalized penal measure. This study adopts a descriptive–analytical and comparative approach, examining the legal, institutional, and policy requirements for the institutionalization of electronic monitoring in Iran through a comparison with the experiences of France, the Netherlands, and England.
