Manifesto nostalgia: Dixon of Dock Green, BBC TV, 1955 to 1976
I am relieved that crime and justice have hardly featured in the election campaign. Usually when they do it is because of a disaster. Who can forget Bill Clinton flying back to Arkansas to oversee an execution during his 1992 election campaign?
I have reviewed six of the main parties’ manifestos to see what has been included, and what has been omitted. Whilst there has been little heated debate about criminal justice policies the parties themselves have some interesting things to say.
