Parliament approved a law that introduces electronic tagging to help modernise the justice system, creating a balance between the community’s security and the process of rehabilitation.Minister for Home Affairs, Security and Employment, Byron Camilleri presented the law in parliament and explained that the system can give a better result for our country. He went on to say that despite this improvement, the community cannot rest and that abuse of the system cannot be tolerated.“This will be possible in various circumstances, whether people are sentenced by the Court for cases considered minor, whether we assist victims of domestic violence and even safer ways when a person is in prison and comes out on prison leave or parole,” said Camilleri.According to One News, this reform will be gradually introduced in the coming weeks and is expected to change the way minor sentences are administered. At the same time, the electronic tagging is expected to safeguard the victims while facilitating the integration of people back in society.The law of electronic tagging is introducing a central system with technology that has already passed the installation and testing phase.Camilleri went on to say that “in this way, we are seeing to it that we use the technology that today’s world offers so that steps can finally be taken, measures taken so that society can be safer.”Therefore, there is a commitment that even after this system is put into operation, decisions will continue to be taken to further improve the Maltese system so that the result of recent years, where the crime rate has decreased and remained stable, continues to be sustained.What do you make of the introduction of electronic tagging?•
