NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The Independent and BBC News report on the issue of offenders not wearing electronic tags, with both outlets citing a report that highlights the problem. However, the Ministry of Justice's response to the issue differs in the two accounts, with BBC News noting that the Ministry disputes the figure and provides an alternative number of 5,450 un-monitored individuals. The Independent focuses on the need for the Ministry to address the issue ahead of an expected rise in demand in September. The overall narrative of the problem is similar in both outlets, but they present different aspects of the Ministry's response.
