Are we facing in Britain an imminent tidal wave of crime? Certainly the way we are bombarded with crime stories in the press, on television and radio, we might be forgiven for a sense of unease. The prospect of being overwhelmed by crime clearly is disturbing. But has it fostered our fears unfairly and unnecessarily.
Do we ironically face another different but hidden danger not so much from our lawbreakers but from our law enforcers? Will that prospect drastically change tne lives of each and every one of us? Tonight's documentary follows the police at work in the streets and the public's response to them. we observe the experience of victims and criminals alike, and reveay a view of the War on Crime.

with Phil Drabble
A series of four programmes about working dogs and their owners. 3: Running Dogs
PHIL DRABBLE goes to the dogs. He looks behind the scenes at greyhound racing at Birmingham's Perry Barr Stadium , where he discovers that a top greyhound can cost from 110-12,000 and that the margin between winning and losing is counted in lOOths of a second. Away from fancy prices and big betting, at a social club in the heart of the Black Country, Phil also rediscovers a world more reminiscent of his younger days - when whippet racing attracted a whole breed of men and dogs, whose hobby became a way of life.
