Are police targets getting in the way of justice

Victoria Derbyshire | 08:19 UK time, Thursday, 31 July 2008

We're going to talk to a criminal defence solictor on the programme at 9 who says some criminals are being offered cautions or fixed penalty notices - even when they've committed a serious crime like assault. The reason? According to this solicitor it's because police are chasing the target of "brought to justice" - and if you give someone a caution or fine then you can tick that box. Have a listen to what Digby Johnson says at 9 and if you're a police officer, or work for the CPS or have been a vicitm of crime, do tell us what you think.
