Tamil Nadu Police Launches Colour-Coded System to Monitor Sexual OffendersPreviousNext

Tamil Nadu Police has introduced 'Spectrum,' a colour-coded system to profile, classify, and monitor sexual offenders based on risk levels. Covering 10 districts in the southern zone, the system categorizes around 15,000 accused individuals annually, ranging from stalking to rape and trafficking cases. Spectrum uses biometric data and digital surveillance to differentiate high-risk offenders, such as serial rapists and repeat offenders, from less severe cases, enabling targeted monitoring and intervention.
