Child Sex offenders are 90% less likely to re-offend when monitored by a GPS satellite tracking device. Rep.

Under Bradley's bill, Illinois would join 13 other states requiring sex offenders who usued or threatened the use of violence to commit their crimes to wear a GPS bracelt for the rest of their lives. The new supervision tool will help law enforcement monitor the wherabouts of sexual predators and ensure that they do not go near prohibited areas, such as schools and daycare centers. Rep.
