Abstract

Under 18s in Scotland can be subject to electronic monitoring (EM) through both the justice system and the Children’s Hearing System (CHS). The former may utilise EM in a range of guises such as Home Detention Curfew (HDC), Restriction of Liberty Order (RLO) and as part of licence conditions on release from detention/ custodial sentence. G4S statistics from 2014 -July 2018 show EM was imposed with under 18s as an RLO on 464 occasions, HDC on 33 occasions, as part of post release licence conditions on seven occasions and as an MRC through the CHS on 134 occasions.
