The documentary series returns.
The Fear of Living Dangerously
The face of teenage crime is undergoing some alarming changes. In some areas the level of violence has reached a point where shootings and street-level extortion are routine. In the first of a new series, Brian Crawford investigates the young generation of violent lawbreakers, the disturbing development of a "gun culture", and the emergence of the female gangster. His report uncovers a hard core of disaffected youth who are armed, dangerous and at war with each other. Producer Paul Sapin
