Korea Considering Having People Accused of Stalking Wear GPS Bracelets
The Korea Herald has a long article about violence against women in Korea. In the article there is an idea on making people accused of stalking wear police issued GPS bracelets. This would allow the person they are stalking to know where that person is. This is an interesting idea, but I would like to see the safeguards on how abuse of making people wear GPS bracelets would be prevented:

In a bid to take a more systemic approach, South Korea is working to determine what behaviors constitute an abusive pattern in offenders, and how to adequately train judges, court staff, police officers and other support organizations to identify the risk factors and protections needed.
There is also room for improvement when it comes to the efficacy of temporary restraining orders in deterring offenders from making contact with victims. There have been repeated calls, including from the unnamed victim of the roundhouse kick incident to allow police to use GPS tracking devices on both gender-based crime and stalking offenders and their victims. Under the current system, only victims are able to use the devices to alert police in an emergency, and these devices cannot detect the location of the offenders automatically.

Only criminals, those who wish to harm women, and mental defectives think tracking devices can be even minimally effective. Oh, and the people who rob taxpayers so they can sell this ridiculous nonsense.
Around the world, they have failed. Murders have been committed while wearing this expensive but worthless jewelry.
Put the asshats in prison for two years at hard labor, to convince them to behave properly, for the first offense. Execute them if they continue to stalk.
