Liverpool (1x2)

Ausstrahlung: Apr 14, 2014

This week, Nick visits Liverpool – a city with a reputation for serious gun crime. The action follows Merseyside Police’s Matrix team as they hit the front line in their daily battle to tackle both the causes and effects of firearms on the streets. While the episode revisits some of Liverpool’s most shocking gun crimes, it also looks at how police are using new forensic technology to stay one step ahead of the city’s criminals in a bid to prevent further cases of injury and death. Additionally, there is an exploration of how Merseyside Police and the community have joined forces to fight gun crime. The police service’s comprehensive new approach to taking guns off the street now involves targeting illegal drugs production and other serious offences. They hope that this method will reduce fighting amongst criminal gangs as they compete for the spoils.
