 The Justice Committee has today published at stage one report in the Management of Offenders Bill Scotland which aims to increase the use of electronic monitoring to change the rules around the disclosure of convictions and to make improvements to the parole board. Following the tragic case of Craig and Clement, the committee decided to extend its evidence taking and today the committee is backing the bill on the strength of the improvements which seek to ensure effective monitoring of electronic tags that any breaches are dealt with swiftly and that any risk is properly assessed. Crucially, the committee considers that this bill's provisions must be sufficiently resourced. Finally, the committee hopes that the aims of this bill will be realised, namely to reintegrate people into society and to rehabilitate offenders.
