Overview

• Under the draft, victims would receive warnings via a receiver and police would be automatically alerted if an offender approaches.
• Judges could impose monitoring for up to six months, with three-month extensions possible at the victim’s request if risk persists.
• The plan also allows courts to mandate anti-violence training, seek data from the weapons register, and raise penalties for violations to up to three years in prison.
• The proposal is modeled on Spain, which the draft cites as having recorded no killings of protected victims since ankle monitors were introduced in 2009.
• BKA data show more than 250,000 victims in 2023, and a report citing BKA figures points to a record 265,942 people affected in 2024, which has not been officially published.
