An enquiry by Christopher Mayhew, M.P.

Is It true that a nation gets the crime it deserves? How far does crime result, not from weakness of character in the offender, but from failings in the society in which he lives?
Tonight's programme, the last in this series, considers the way in which offenders are treated when they come out of prison, and goes on to discuss the wider relationship between crime and the moral values of society as a whole.
Speakers include: Barbara Wootton, Dr. Terence Morris, Professor W. J. H. Sprott,
Merfyn Turner
