VVD backs electronic tags for deliquents

Youngsters who persist in causing a nuisance should be fitted with electronic tags to monitor their movements as well as be given banning orders or house arrest, the VVD Liberal party said on Thursday.


Mayors would be able to order the tags to be fitted within 24 hours, much faster than by court order, the party says.
‘This way we can get the troublemakers off the streets,’ said MP Ineke Dezentjé Hamming in the Telegraaf.
Earlier this week, the Christian Democrats called for the introduction of special community service for ethnic minority deliquents.
