Living in the Present: Crime and Punishment

on BBC One London

A sociology series.

In a magistrates' court a young offender is sentenced. The programme follows up this one crime, to examine the methods of judging and punishing a criminal. Why is he punished-to deter him from future offences, to reform him, or to protect the public? How effective is the penal system today?
