EXPLORING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONDITIONAL RELEASE SYSTEM WITH ELECTRONIC MONITORING IN UAE LEGISLATION: A LEGAL ANALYTICAL STUDY

The criminal justice system focuses on rehabilitation, suppression of criminal behavior, preventing recidivism, and successful reintegration. Conditional release in the UAE allows offenders to demonstrate positive transformations, potentially reducing sentences and restoring freedom. The study discusses UAE conditional release legislation and potential issues, including unclear legal frameworks, limited guidance, and monitoring. Solutions include enhancing the legal framework, providing comprehensive guidance, and expanding monitoring and assessment scope. This study aims to shed light on some of the gaps and shortcomings in the legal provisions that address the conditional release system in the UAE. It attempts to arrive at suitable solutions while using a comparative approach between the UAE's legal system and other legal approaches, which has established a modern conditional release system characterized by flexibility and safeguarding the rights of the convicted individuals. The study provides recommendations for advancing the UAE's parole system, aligning it with contemporary punitive policies, and humanizing the penal framework, paving the way for further research.
