Areszt domowy jako remedium ograniczające stosowanie tymczasowego aresztowania

The use of electronic monitoring in penal procedure as home detention, alternative to remand, arouses many controversies. Both the proponents of this solution and opponents are right. The proponents say that this means is effective in many countries, whereas its critics emphasize that it generates great costs. It is extremely difficult to be in favour of the first or the second. Home detention cannot be overestimated, nor can it be treated as a specific remedy that limits the use of remand. One should not be closed to technological innovations in the trial. The most important thing is to make a detailed analysis of this institution and eliminate respective doubts before one introduces a new preventive means.
