On Being a Judge

BBC Radio 4

In the second of two programmes, Judge

2: Pickles on Punishment Does prison do any good?
The judge confronts people he sent to prison, including the 'king of the Kop', a former soccer hooligan, and argues, with the criminologist and magistrate Professor Terence Morris , that heavy sentences can deter.
