Tagging 'allows curfew breaches'
Criminals given electronic tags could break their curfews for more than 11 hours and still not be arrested, a report has revealed.
Probation inspectors found that being at home for just a few minutes qualified offenders for a warning. Only a second breach would prompt an arrest.
The report said the system was "meeting the contract but missing the point".

It's treated as a 'badge of honour', not a deterrent.
