Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill said the use of GPS technology to address public concern over sex offenders who have been released from prison.
"Scotland has been monitoring the criminals wherever," he said.
"I want to see if there is we can do more in the future to improve supervision of the crooks and provide better assurance to the community."
The technology can also be used for easy identification if the suspects were using some sort of sign bracelet in the legs, once in the area of the new crime making it easier to conduct the investigation.
The idea of using a GPS was first presented in 2000, the Lord MacLean reports on handling violent and sexual crimes.
High Court Judge was visiting a program to address the 'predator' in Phoenix, Arizona USA, where the sex offender is continuously monitored using satellites.
Previously, this oversight is often challenged in the areas of signal interference if there is lots of tall buildings or trees. But now the problem has been resolved.
The Government also collect views on the use of 'alcohol bracelet' which can monitor the levels of alcohol in the body of the perpetrator.
