Monitoring Technology and Software to Support Family Safety

According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 75% of all domestic violence cases, the victim perceives the abuser to be under the influence of alcohol. Because perpetrators of domestic violence often suffer from substance abuse issues and may inflict psychological, emotional, sexual, and physical abuse, supervision to ensure separation from the victim is essential. Family and victim safety and client accountability are key, and agencies require flexible options in order to customize the type of supervision that is appropriate for these high-risk clients.

The SCRAM Systems suite of alcohol and location monitoring devices, software, and mobile apps allow agencies to tailor supervision models to a client’s risk and need and easily increase or decrease supervision when necessary. The ability to utilize any type of location or alcohol monitoring in one, integrated platform is ideal for programs managing domestic violence caseloads.

Utilizing technology in supervision programs is critical when managing domestic violence caseloads.

Applications in Domestic Violence and Family Caseloads

Family Court

Our alcohol and location solutions can be used in combination with one another to help keep victims safe and aid clients on their path to sobriety and prove their compliance in family court.

Supervised Visitation/Custody

In child custody cases that require supervised parenting time or involve substance abuse, alcohol monitoring can provide additional confidence. This not only benefits relatives and visitation supervisors but visiting parents who can reinforce their sobriety with concrete data.

Child Abuse & Neglect

Cases of child abuse and neglect involving drug or alcohol dependence are often contingent on the parent or guardian providing evidence of their sobriety in court. Electronic monitoring technology can provide professionals with the data they need to make the most informed decisions. 

Voluntary Sobriety Monitoring

The ability to prove sobriety can be a critical recovery tool. Many former SCRAM CAM clients have attested that knowing they were monitored 24/7 provided them additional motivation to stay sober. Being able to voluntarily submit to supervision may be a significant turning point in a client’s recovery process.
