Just to reiterate--
While the GPS tracking systems may be a successful option--deterring crime from happening in the first place is more effective than attempting to catch those after a crime has occurred. Although likely pretty successful, the GPS doesn't do as much as other options, in my mind, to prevent the act in the first place. This is I think where efforts would be best placed.
I like cameras as well as they also are capable of enforcing harassment and violence issues as well as property crimes. I think this is an important plus in favor of cameras.
