UK Unveils Sweeping Expansion of Electronic Tagging for Offenders
The UK government announces a major increase in the use of electronic tags to monitor the location and movement of high-risk offenders on probation.
In a groundbreaking move to enhance public safety, the UK government has announced a massive expansion of its electronic tagging program for offenders in England and Wales. Most dangerous offenders on probation will now be subject to more intensive monitoring than ever before, with the deployment of real-time location tracking devices.
Prisons Minister James Timpson revealed details of the new pilot scheme, which will see tens of thousands of offenders released from prisons wearing tags that can pinpoint their exact whereabouts. This represents the biggest expansion of electronic tagging in British history, a move aimed at better protecting victims and the public.
