In 1977, Judge Jack Love of Albuquerque, New Mexico was inspired by an episode in the Spiderman comic book series to explore the possible use of electronic monitoring for offenders. Spiderman, the comic book hero, had been tagged with a device that allowed a villain to track his every move. In 1983, Love sentenced the first offender to house arrest with electronic monitoring. Today, over 95,000 people in the United States participate in electronic monitoring programs. Use of electronic monitoring is much more limited in Canada, but it is growing.
