title: Can electronic monitoring (GPS 'tracking') enhance risk management in psychiatry?
abstract: Electronic monitoring has been used in criminal justice and some health settings for three decades. Technological interventions are becoming more common in psychiatry, but may be a cause for ethical concerns and controversy. We discuss electronic monitoring as an aid to security and public safety in a forensic setting.
