The prisons we have are full/overcrowded hence in recent weeks many offenders (albeit minor offenders) have been released.
Then there's the electronic tagging program (which according to a recent documentary) is flawed !!
In my opinion,all the technology available will not stop a determined criminal. But implementing new,effective measures to me now is a must (i.e with terrorism,peadophiles etc)
Also the judicial system needs a good overhaul. The punishment should reflect the crime.
