Tonight: Law and Order: 1: Crisis of Confidence
For some it is the fashion today to insult British policemen with labels like 'pigs' and 'fuzz.' Other voices utter noises about law and order - sterner law, more order. Slogans don't help the police.
But it is true that there is, today, a crisis of confidence between the British public and our police, traditionally the best in the world. Many of us suffer from wanting to have our cake and eat it, too. We want an orderly, safe society, but we resent the slightest loss of individual freedom as part of the price for this.
In two programmes, Man Alive looks at our society and the policeman's place in it; first the policeman's view, through the eyes of one force - Birmingham City. And next week, the viewpoint of members of the public as well as the men of the police.
