Sex offender re-arrests fuel GPS debate

This article from the Boston Herald describes the debate over using GPS tracking bracelets to follow sex offenders. Eleven sex offenders who were removed from GPS monitoring last year have been re-arrested in recent months for crimes ranging from armed robbery to assault to failing to register as a sex offender. There is currently a debate going on as to whether level-3 sex offenders should be required to wear the GPS bracelets or if this is an "unconstitutional burden on their freedom". Personally, I would agree with Northeastern University criminologist who, in the article, proposes the idea that sex offender supervision should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
