Opportunities of Quantified Self for Resocialisation of (Ex-)Convicts

Authors Info & Claims
Published:02 May 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

Resocialisation is a guided process by which ex-convicts are introduced back into society. An issue that arises in this process is that ex-convicts are behind on technological developments when they return to society. Here, we present work on how quantified self technology, as an alternative to the present-day ankle monitor, can be a helpful tool to obtain overview and insight in their progress. In particular, we present a prototype that physically monitors stress levels as an indicator of behavioural patterns. Results from research with former convicts shows how giving ownership over tracking data can help the user group understand their societal status and become more sovereign during their resocialisation process. Finally, we reflect on ethical questions regarding data gathering, Quantified Other and privacy for ex-convicts.
