It starts from the most discussed aspects about electronic freedom controls to use them as a guide for exposing the research findings about the two studied realities. At the end, the result of the comparison is summarized and perspectives are presented so that the use of these devices can meet the public interests related to the criminal problem, as well as the management needs of contemporary control strategies, such as their costs and purposes.
