A bill aimed at cutting Scotland's high rates of re-offending is to be published by ministers on Monday.

The Management of Offenders (Scotland) Bill follows research revealing that 60% of those released from prison commit further crimes within two years.
The most controversial provision is to grant early release to some criminals if they agree to be tagged at home.
