<p>The Process evaluation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) Electronic Monitoring
Pilot: Qualitative findings included both male and female offenders and defendants.
A forthcoming quantitative process evaluation of the GPS Pilot will contain analysis
of Management Information gathered over the course of the pilot, including by gender.
During the pilot, there were 586 tagging instances involving 20 female wearers and
566 male wearers.</p><p>Location monitoring can robustly monitor male and female offenders
and defendants in the community, and provide an effective alternative to custody.
If used as an alternative to custody the tags can be particularly effective in mitigating
the disruptive impact of imprisonment on women with children. This is emphasised in
our guidance to stakeholders.</p>
