Make GPS tagging mandatory for high-risk offenders to protect victims & children

Petition Details

We believe perpetrator programmes are failing to prevent repeat harm. GPS tagging for high-risk offenders under bail, investigation, or probation could provide real-time protection for victims and children, ensuring safety, accountability, and early intervention before tragedy occurs.

Additional Information

We believe perpetrator programmes alone rarely prevent repeat abuse. GPS tagging must be mandatory for high-risk offenders under bail, investigation, probation, or where child-contact risk exists. Combined with trauma-informed awareness sessions, this could ensure real-time monitoring, accountability, and protection for victims and children, preventing tragedy and supporting genuine reform.
