A bill being considered by the NJ legislature aims to track those individuals who have committed domestic violence by making them wear an electronic ankle monitoring bracelet. This is a well-intentioned plan and could add an additional layer of protection to victims. While I have some concerns regarding the scope of the program I welcome any proposal that can provide an additional layer of security to those who have been victimized. Once the NJ Attorney General’s office has completed their study we will know whether the pilot program will be implemented.
