Discuss and explain global positioning systems.
What will be an ideal response?
An even more sophisticated method of tracking offenders is that of global positioning systems (GPS). GPS requires offenders to wear a removable tracking unit that constantly communicates with a nonremovable ankle cuff. If communication is lost, the loss is noted by a Department of Defense satellite that records the time and location of the loss in its database. This information is then forwarded to criminal justice authorities so that they can take action to determine why communication was lost. Unlike EM systems, GPS can be used for surveillance purposes as well as detention purposes.
