Do the Punishments Fit the Crime?
Rachel Burden looks at riot-related sentences - do the punishments fit the crime? Listen out for Gavin Barwell, the MP for Croydon Central, an area affected in the riots last week.
Rachel Burden asks- Do the punishments fit the crime? Justice campaigners say some of the sentences given to those involved in the riots in England are too harsh. Jordan Blackshaw and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan have both been jailed for four years for using facebook to try to incite riots. Neither of them took part in any violence.
Guests to listen out for include Gavin Barwell, the MP for Croydon Central which saw some of the worst rioting a week ago.
Also Andrew Neilson, the Director of Campaigns at the Howard League for Penal Reform.
