Synopsis
| * IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not be reprinting this title - customers are advised to consider The Magic Bracelet as an alternative * |
A wide-ranging first treatment of this topic which becomes more pertinent by the day. This book looks at the development of tagging in the UK and in other countries, including information from the USA, Europe, Australia and other jurisdictions where the method is in use or has been tried.
The contents provide a thoughtful and constructive analysis for people wishing to better understand the issues around the electronic tagging and monitoring of offenders, something which is likely to impact increasingly on the sentencing of offenders.
