 Electronic Monitoring in numbers 
Major statistics on the EM program, 2006
  1. From the initial implementation of the program until the end of April 2006, 176 individuals were referred to the EM program: 117 adults, including one woman, and 59 juveniles, including one female.  All but three of the monitored individuals were detainees; only in January 2006 were three prisoners on parole added to the program
  2. During the above period, 13,280 monitoring days were recorded.
  3. The breakdown by offense of the monitored population was as follows:
    Violence – 63
    Family violence – 11
    Sex offenses – 13
    Crimes against property – 40
    Robbery – 18 (including one case of armed robbery)
    Fraud – 5
    Drugs – 7
    Other offenses – 19
  4. The monitoring was conducted throughout Israel, from Safed in the north to Eilat in the south. It can be seen that the number of monitored individuals was especially prominent in the north. In the other police stations there was a more or less identical distribution of monitored individuals.
  5. The distribution of cases being assigned to EM varies by court jurisdiction and is more prominent in the lower level courts:
    Magistrate courts (incl. juvenile)  72
    District courts                                50
    The numbers of cases vary by geographical area:
    Haifa           48
    Tel Aviv       42
    Jerusalem   32                
  6. The program is being increasingly implemented in Israel's law enforcement system, although the rate of increase is lower than initially anticipated. Nonetheless, the monthly increase in the number of monitored individuals is definitely encouraging.
  7. The breakdown of referrals for EM by month was as follows:
    2005
    May – 1
    June – 4
    July – 3
    August – 5
    September – 8
    October – 4 (apparently due to the Jewish holiday season)
    November – 11
    December – 22
    2006
    January – 16
    February – 23
    March – 37
    April – 42
