Violent spouses should be tagged

People guilty of domestic violence should be tagged with GPS bracelets, says the family minister

TAGGING violent spouses with electronic bracelets could be trialled in France, says Family Minister Nadine Morano.

The minister told the newspaper Le Figaro: “I would like it to be taught to boys at school that they have no right to hit a girl but also that we should experiment with the wearing of electronic bracelets for violent spouses, like in Spain. I want the government to debate the idea.”

The Spanish government said in November they were going to use GPS bracelets to monitor the movements of violent spouses.
