Tracking devices are in demand from organized crime groups and known perpetrators of domestic violence, according to an Australian study. The headline findings of Project Hakea – conducted by the Crime Commission in the Australian State of New South Wales and released yesterday – were that the top 100 purchasers of tracking devices are twice as likely as other buyers to have been the subject of Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs) that require them not to harass, intimidate or stalk a protected person, and 2.4 times more likely to be known for serious and organized crime offending.
