Reducing crime, means all crimes.

When dealing with re-offending and repeat offenders, a more effective and cost-efficient approach is needed.

We need to make better use of technology to tag offenders, tracking their location and matching it against the location of any new crimes. To make it more effective, need to ensure all crimes reported are logged and tracked, so that any new crime can be matched against the offender's location at the time of the crime.

This would be a condition of early release, with the offender bearing the cost of the device.

To reduce crime, increase deterrents, there should be more use of financial penalties and attending out of prison community work projects, rather than just prison time.

Fines can serve as a powerful deterrent and also provide a source of revenue that can be used to help victims or fund community projects.

A combination of tracking technology, community work placements and financial penalties can be more effective and less costly than relying solely on incarceration.
