Referee Abuse and Hacking

BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Investigates, Referee Abuse and Hacking

Football referees face abuse on a regular basis, according to new research.

Football referees tell their stories of abuse on the field following research revealing widespread aggression. 5 live asks if the FA's Respect Campaign is tackling the problem.

Football referees blow the whistle on the levels of abuse they face on the pitch. A new survey reveals widespread verbal aggression and the levels of physical assault against referees. Is the FA's Respect Campaign doing enough to tackle unacceptable behaviour?
As the roll call of commercial companies affected by computer hacking grows, the programme investigates the industry which is prepared to hack companies on your behalf, or even train you how to do it yourself- for a fee. Why are they able to openly offer their services? Is enough being done to stop this growing threat to businesses and consumers alike?
