New tagging scandal: Thousands of criminals ordered to be electronically tagged have not had devices fitted

A significant oversight has emerged in the UK's justice system as the Ministry of Justice revealed that 5,450 criminals, who were supposed to wear electronic monitoring devices, did not have them fitted by the end of March. This scandal raises serious questions about the effectiveness and reliability of the country's electronic monitoring programs. With public trust in criminal justice systems already under scrutiny, this situation could lead to further calls for better oversight and accountability in the implementation of such measures.
