- Description
- With crime rates at a record high, Decision Makers discusses the new crime bill, which includes new powers for police officers to perform random stop searches on any member of the public, and new detention and custody policies. Opposition MPs voice dissent at the new measures, as do the union leaders, claiming the police relationship with the public will deteriorate further. Speaking are Home Secretary Willie Whitelaw, campaigner Peter Hain, Leslie Curtis, Tory MP Eldon Griffiths. Presenter Richard Dallyn, engineer Colin Clements.
