Expert group
Technology
We have been living in a rapidly changing world were technologies play an important role. Within a second, we have access to all the information we need and more. Technology in probation has been rapidly changing and expanding as well. Nowadays, technologies such as artificial intelligence, electronic monitoring, smart apps and virtual reality are used by probation officers in their daily work. Services provided by probation organisations starting from supervision to victim-offender mediation can be carried out online – one of the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Something we could have never thought of a couple of years ago. Not only probation staff but also its clients are able to use technologies. The access to it also created a new sort of offender – cybercriminals. What will come next?
The Expert Group meeting on Technology is one of the longest-operating group within CEP. Its first meeting was held for the first time in March 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden.
