Thousands of offenders not wearing electronic tags, report says

Thousands of individuals with electronic monitoring devices aren't wearing them, according to a report, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the system in preventing reoffending. The Ministry of Justice, however, disputes this figure, stating that their own review indicates a significantly lower number of offenders not complying with the monitoring. This discrepancy highlights potential issues in the current system's oversight and raises questions about the reliability of electronic monitoring as a tool for rehabilitation and crime prevention.
