NSW enforces electronic monitoring of serious domestic violence offenders on bail due to police shortage.

New South Wales (NSW) will implement electronic monitoring for serious domestic violence offenders on bail due to a police shortage. Offenders charged with crimes like sexual assault and kidnapping must wear ankle bracelets for 24/7 tracking. Corrections will monitor compliance and notify police of any breaches. This initiative follows high-profile domestic violence cases and aims to enhance victim safety, with studies showing a 33% reduction in reoffending among monitored individuals.
