To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment has been made of the effectiveness of electronic monitoring tagging schemes for offenders.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment has been made of the effectiveness of electronic monitoring tagging schemes for offenders.
The Ministry of Justice has published a number of evaluations examining the effectiveness of different forms of electronic monitoring.
The Acquisitive Crime Impact Evaluation (2025) found that acquisitive crime offenders serving custodial sentences of 12 months or more who were subject to GPS trail monitoring on release were around 20% less likely to reoffend than comparable offenders who were not monitored.
The Radio Frequency Curfew Impact Evaluation (2025) found that offenders subject to an electronically monitored curfew requirement as part of a community sentence were around 20% less likely to reoffend and were more likely to comply with other requirements of their order.
Evidence of alcohol monitoring tags for community orders shows very high compliance, with no alcohol consumption or tampering recorded on 97% of monitored days.
The Domestic Abuse Perpetrators on Licence Process Evaluation (2025) found that probation practitioners and victim-support staff were generally positive about the use of electronic monitoring as a tool to manage domestic abuse risk, and to provide reassurance to victims. Further evaluation of the scheme is ongoing, with interim findings published earlier this year and a full impact evaluation due in 2027.
The Government will continue to build on this evidence base as it expands the use of electronic monitoring and implements reforms recommended by the Independent Sentencing Review. Under the new post-custody progression model, there will be a presumption that individuals leaving custody will be electronically monitored for the period they would otherwise have spent in custody under the previous arrangements. This will enable probation to monitor significantly more offenders in the community while supporting effective risk management.
My Lords, victims of rape and child sexual exploitation have now received letters informing them that their attackers and abusers are soon to be released from custody, much earlier than would have been expected. Yet during the recent passage of the Sentencing Act, which paved the way for such reductions...

First, I would like to express my sincere sympathy with the victims of all these appalling crimes. Convictions for child sex offences are at a record high, and we as a Government have made grooming an aggravated factor so that perpetrators face longer sentences. Without the Sentencing Act, the courts...

My Lords, these issues are very difficult, but we share the Government’s determination to ensure that we do not run out of prison cell space as a result of past serious underprovision. However, I have two questions on early release. First, can the Minister say how effectively victims notified of...

The noble Lord is right to raise the point about prison building, because we have to keep building these prisons. There is a role for them but there is also a role for technology. I have been keen on pushing technology in all parts of the justice system. I am...

My Lords, having previously worked with people being released from prison and having helped people resettle in the community, I know how crucial the right support is after release to prevent reoffending and to prevent further victims. In light of this, is my noble friend the Minister confident that our...

I thank my noble friend for that question. Probation has had a very difficult time, but I am pleased to tell noble Lords that 90% of our probation regions are now improving, ahead of last year. I am doing a series of roadshows at the moment, going around the country...

My Lords, I want to draw the House’s attention to a specific case concerning child-grooming gang rapists who are no longer British citizens. I think the Minister will not be surprised to hear me refer to the case of Mr Shabir Ahmed, who we are told cannot be deported because...

What I can tell the noble Baroness is that all our sympathies are for the victims of these shocking crimes. It is absolutely terrible what happened. By law, tomorrow this this criminal will have to be released. What is important is that there will be substantial and robust licence conditions...

My Lords, there are 3,650 women in prison in England and Wales. There are 12 women’s prisons and, as it happens, all 12 of them are in England. Of that 3,650, 2,500—that is about 70% of the women’s prison population—are in custody for non-violent offences. Why do the Government not...

The noble and learned Lord’s figures are correct. What I also believe is that most women should not be in prison. I believe most women are victims. When you know that over 60% of women in prison have brain damage as a result of being beaten up, you have to...

Does the noble Lord agree that tagging has an important part to play in this—the investment in new technology should cover that—and are the Government going beyond that to explore implanted chips?

I thank my noble friend, who probably reads Inside Time newspaper, because it had a headline about implanting chips. That was suggested by a potential supplier when we had a sort of a “Dragons’ Den” day, and it was not something we accepted at all. At the moment, 29,000 offenders...

Can the Minister tell us the projected number of rapists and child groomers who will be released, and over what period? Are we expecting hotspots around the country?

What is important is that we get the numbers right. While we are here today, our incredibly hard-working and talented staff in our offender management units are working out the release dates of a large number of people who are currently in prison. We have already stated that we think,...
