Fighting Back
Hitting your wife or partner is a criminal offence. In
London alone it's estimated that police receive up to
100,000 calls in connection with domestic violence every year. Other statistics paint an even blacker picture - in 1975 25 per cent of all recorded violent crime was domestic violence.
If these statistics are to be believed it could mean that a woman in your street is a victim of domestic violence. In today's Advice Shop
Margo MacDonald looks at what help is available for these women from the police, the courts and women's refuges.

Good news: computers won't take over after all. Thinking can't be produced just by running a computer programme. So argues John Searle, a philosopher at the University of California. His controversial views annoy those scientists who work to create 'artificial intelligence'. They believe thinking can be done by computer.

Using a play in Cantonese, a machine that looks like an old mangle and the ideas and images of recent news, Horizon explores the limitations of digital computers.

Two partisan films about a controversial issue. A Legal Game?
Should prostitution be decriminalised? The debate is as old as the profession itself, but now AIDS has given it a new urgency. The last edition in this series of Split Screen features two films made by people on different sides of the law.
Inspector Julian Smith , from the Nottingham Vice Squad, argues that, although prostitution itself is not illegal, the law does act as a deterrent to girls who might otherwise pursue a career which can end in personal tragedy. A visit to Hamburg, 'vice capital of Europe', convinces him that decriminalisation would be disastrous.
Louise, who works as a prostitute and is also involved in AIDS health education, argues that the law both discriminates against women working in a large 'service industry' and hinders the distribution of 'safe sex' information which might protect clients and women alike. So is the law an essential instrument of control or a dangerous pimp? Film editors
