UK 'world first' GPS offender zones launch in October without operational detail, survivors warn

In October, England and Wales will launch GPS-monitored zones — sometimes called geofencing — confining serious sexual and violent offenders to areas of a few miles, with victims helping set boundaries. The Ministry of Justice calls it a "world first." Survivors Rhianon Bragg and Hetti Barkworth-Nanton say officials haven't explained how the zones will work, and a requested pre-launch meeting hasn't happened.
