In August alone, Alabama and New Jersey passed laws requiring extensive satellite tracking of high-risk sex offenders. At least three other states -- Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma -- approved electronic monitoring this year, and North Dakota, Georgia and New York are considering similar measures.
Last week, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed lifetime satellite-tracking devices for paroled molesters. His proposal faces an uncertain future. The state Legislature's annual session ends early next month. Questions have been raised about the program's cost.
Beginning this month in Iowa, more than 500 convicted sex offenders will be required to wear electronic-monitoring ankle bands. The law was in response to the March abduction and slaying of 10-year-old Jetseta Gage. James Bentley, who once dated her mother, is charged with sexually molesting her over a three-year period. His older brother Roger is charged with kidnapping and killing her.
