30 Minutes: Making Our Kids Criminals Channel 4, 24 February, 7.35-8pm
In this documentary, Shami Chakrabarti, the director of Liberty, questions the Government's respect agenda. She argues that too many children are being swept into the criminal process and a generation of young people is being demonised.
Chakrabarti meets experts and young people, including Britain's former most senior female judge Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, Camila Batmanghelidjh, the director of Kids Company, and a mother who has two children on ASBOs and a third facing the threat of one. She also talks to Rod Morgan, chair of the Youth Justice Board, and children's commissioner Al Aynsley-Green.
