Professor Green

Professor Green sets out to discover the modern face of homelessness, changing our perceptions of who the homeless are and the harsh reality of their lives. From the shocking streets of Manchester, where rough sleeping has doubled in the last year, to meeting those trapped in the same cycle of temporary hostel life and sofa surfing, he uncovers a generation of people without access to normal society or to their futures.

Professor Green, aka Stephen Manderson, delves into the murky world of illegal dogs to investigate a worrying new trend. In the last decade, 27 people have been killed by dogs and hospitalisations have risen by 76%. But who is to blame? On a journey that takes him across the country, Stephen meets young men whose illegal dogs are trained to attack, the owner of a banned breed whose dog is facing a death sentence, the head of the Met Police Status Dog Unit, and the family of Jade Anderson, a 14-year-old girl killed in a tragic attack. Stephen asks whether the controversial Dangerous Dogs Act - which is 25 years old this year - is making things better or worse.
