Nick Ross was presenter of the crime appeal programme Crimewatch for over 20 years. Now in a new book he offers a radical look at the real causes of and solutions to crime. In this talk, hear from a man who has set conventional thinking on its head and challenged everything we take for granted - why the criminal justice system has little effect on crime rates, how policing has been hijacked to serve the needs of the lawyers, and how 'facts' about crime are continually manipulated to serve the needs of politicians and the media.
'Nick Ross explores a theory of crime so simple and universal - and in its way obvious - that it's almost shocking' Matthew Parris
