Investigates, Discovers, Questions This week: Short, Sharp Shock
' It will take the laugh off their faces-and about time.'
' Just red meat thrown to the blue rinses.'
Two reactions to the Home Secretary's recent proposal to restore, experimentally, the punishment known as ' short, sharp shock'.
Its aims are simple: for a short time life is made so tough that young offenders will be both punished and then deterred for life.
But will it work? The plan's opponents say that if you put a teenage criminal behind bars (and the number has trebled in ten years) you will neither reform nor deter him - between 60 per cent and 80 per cent will be back again within a year. So what's the answer and how do other countries cope? On film and in the studio, David Calder , Michael Dean and Jack Pizzey put that question to both sides.

A Lesson from Aloes
Athol Fugard is the author of such celebrated plays as The Blood-knot, The Island and Sizwe Bansi is Dead. He is known throughout the world for his opposition to apartheid and for his determination to express these views through the theatre and within South Africa. Last year his latest play, A Lesson from Aloes, opened in Johannesburg. It was both written and directed by Fugard and Arena was there to follow its progress from the first day of rehearsal until the opening night. The film offers a unique insight into the evolution of a play and the remarkable tenacity of its author.
