Electronic Tagging
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of GPS tagging on the efficacy of monitoring of offenders released on probation.
- Answer
-
Electronic location monitoring may discourage offenders from committing further offences, because of their perception that location data could link them to the offence. We believe there could be benefits in terms of reduced re-offending, public protection, and crime detection and investigation by the police.
