Synopsis
Criminologist Professor David Wilson discusses the government's findings that it is difficult to prove a link between austerity-era poverty and the rise in anti-social behaviour. Investigative journalist Fiona Walker presents a short film about the infamous triple murder carried out by Charles Boyle Jnr in 1920s Glasgow. Boyle grew up in crushing poverty and suffered from polio. On the same day he'd had his foot amputated - and after getting blind drunk when released from hospital - he arrived home to the single room he lived in with his family and murdered his mother and two neighbourhood children. Fiona joins David in the studio, revealing that Boyle confessed to the murders, claiming he wanted someone to 'give him the rope' but ended up getting 15 years in prison instead. She presents information about Boyle that suggests he may have suffered from a mental illness.
