Emergency: Prosecuting Disorder
Manage episode 446053177 series 3609481
The streets of the UK have been gripped by disorder. Fuelled by racist rhetoric, rioters have taken to the streets from Southport to Bristol and the criminal justice system is now facing the huge task of processing these criminals and re-establishing order. Can quick sentencing decisions offer a deterrent to further unrest? How are prosecution decisions being made? And can anything be done about the large social media institutions that foment so much of this violence? Charlie Falconer leads Nicholas Mostyn and Helena Kennedy through the grim realities facing the UK, in this emergency episode of Law & Disorder.
