British law on cannabis is bitterly controversial. Many say it puts young people and ethnic minorities into needless conflict with the law. London Mayor Sadiq Khan originally asked Bernard Hogan-Howe to lead the drugs commission that has just recommended decriminalising “natural” cannabis for personal use. Is Khan right to demand a change the law? Bernard and former Mirror editor Alison Phillips go inside the evolution of Britain’s illegal cannabis trade, ask whether legalising weed would boost organised crime, and look at what urgent steps Government should take on what is many Briton’s favourite guilty pleasure.

Description

Cop shows and true crime dominate pop culture – but do we really understand what goes on inside major criminal investigations? In CRIME SCENE, ex-Metropolitan Police Commissioner BERNARD HOGAN-HOWE and former Mirror editor ALISON PHILLIPS take a deep dive into real cases, from gang hits to manhunts to fraud, extortion and drug trafficking, and explain what really goes on.
How do police commence an investigation? What happens when they face a wall of silence from frightened witnesses? How do covert intelligence, profiling and forensics come together to bring culprits to justice? And when it all reaches court, does the media hit the right spot between information, sensationalism and fear-mongering? Find out in CRIME SCENE: the truth behind true crime.
