Criminal Recidivism after Prison and Electronic Monitoring
利用阿根廷法官随机分配案件的特点，发现电子监控相比监禁能显著降低犯罪再犯率，对刑事政策制定者有参考价值。
We study criminal recidivism in Argentina by focusing on the rearrest rates of two groups: individuals released from prison and individuals released from electronic monitoring. Detainees are randomly assigned to judges, and ideological differences across judges translate into large differences in the allocation of electronic monitoring to an otherwise similar population. Using these peculiarities of the Argentine setting, we argue that there is a large, negative causal effect on criminal recidivism of treating individuals with electronic monitoring relative to prison.
