Synopsis
Criminologist Professor David Wilson discusses how virtually our every move is covered by CCTV and if we commit a crime in public we are almost certain to be caught on camera doing it. Investigative journalist Fiona Walker presents a short film about the infamous Ibrox Heist in 1955, when a gang of four hijacked a bank security van and made off with £40,000 (£1 million in today's money). Initially the police were baffled but then attempted something that had never been done before: they made a TV appeal and incredibly got a result that led to the conviction of the heist gang. Fiona joins David in the studio and they discuss the evolution of the police TV appeal to the advent of Crimewatch, which led to the conviction of over a hundred murderers and rapists. They also highlight the 21st-century world of CCTV, dashcam footage and social media as tools that instantly give police investigations access to huge volumes of information.
