Wot U Lookin At? The most common pre-violence comment - "wot u lookin at" - has led psychiatrists working with prisoners to identify paranoia as one of the most important factors behind the violence of city centre streets. Other scientists believe biology, not psychology, holds the key - that genes separate the violent from the peaceful. Horizon uncovers evidence of government funded research in America that is looking into levels of brain chemicals and possible ways of using drugs to alter behaviour. But the film asks whether we should be seeking medical solutions to social problems.
