Stacey Dooley investigates what is going on in her hometown of Luton and finds out why it is known as the extremist capital of Britain. Stacey has spent her whole life in Luton. Media commentators all have their theories about what is happening there, but Stacey is uniquely placed to tell the story through the generation she grew up with - the people who are now shaping one of the most controversial towns in Britain. Stacey meets friends - some wearing veils and others who are fully fledged EDL supporters. She goes to the heart of the Muslim community, dominated by one of the country's most extreme Muslim groups, meeting both self-proclaimed radicals and those trying to counter them. Is it all hype? Or is 'L-town' such a pick-and-mix of culture that extremists are attracted here like no other town in Britain?

Stacey Dooley travels to Magaluf, on the Spanish island of Mallorca, to get under the skin of this popular resort. The resort is famous for the drunken antics of the British tourists who go there, but Stacey wants to find out what it's like for the thousands of Spanish workers who serve, police and clear up. What starts out as a regular shift at a bar or cleaning hotel rooms often ends up with Stacey uncovering a darker side that only the workers and residents get to see. Working in a bar Stacey is not only surprised to learn how much free alcohol is on offer to young British tourists, but she's horrified when she witnesses the sexually explicit drinking games the drunk tourists are encouraged to play. When she spends a morning cleaning hotel rooms, not only does she learn about the vandalism and mess tourists leave behind, but she meets one member of staff who's been left traumatised after he saw a young girl fall to her death at the hotel earlier this year, leaving him constantly worried about the safety of inebriated guests. Stacey discovers that the high numbers of tourists who die or are badly injured every year is linked to heavy drinking. But it's when Stacey rides along with an ambulance crew and a police patrol car over a busy weekend that she discovers things are really getting out of control in Magaluf. She hears how the emergency services have seen their worst year ever, cases of violent fights and rape are on the rise, women posing as prostitutes are ganging up on young, and often British, tourists and robbing them. Sadly this year, they've seen more deaths in the resort than ever before, mainly due to a craze called balconing.

Stacey Dooley finds out what life is like for the thousands of Spanish workers who serve, police and clear up after British tourists staying in Magaluf.

Stacey looks at the common mis-conception of domestic violence only affecting older adults, with a rise in the statistic of domestic abuse cases reported by women between the ages of 16 to 24.

Stacey Dooley goes behind closed doors and speaks to the now younger face of domestic violence. She questions victims and abusers to try and understand how deep the issues surrounding domestic abuse are for those who have survived and those currently experiencing the abuse. Stacey joins the Lancashire police as they deal with their 9,000 domestic abuse cases per year, as well as getting exclusive access to the national centre of domestic violence and their frontline order server, as he comes face to face with abusers. Every 60 seconds the British police receive a 999 call to a domestic violent incident. Although constantly in the news, abuse within intimate relationships is often kept secret. Many people believe it only happens to older, married women, but girls aged 16 to 24 are as, if not more, likely to experience violence from their boyfriends than their adult counterparts. With one in four women in the UK suffering abuse from their partner or ex-partner in their lifetime, and one in six men in the UK having experienced domestic abuse, Stacey wants to find out whether there's any way to break the cycle of violence. She visits one of the few perpetrator reform programmes in the UK, and gets to quiz the home secretary Theresa May in a rare interview.

With the UN and FBI suspecting that there are up to 750,000 people online at any one time hunting for children to exploit, how can the booming cybersex trade be policed effectively? Kicking off BBC Three’s Gender Season, Stacey Dooley presents the first of two hard-hitting films from some of the worst places in the world to be female. She investigates why some young women today live in such dangerous, desperate and degrading conditions. In this episode Stacey travels to the Philippines - fast becoming the world capital of the cybersex industry. Here, girls who are rarely let out and often underage must perform on webcams and be photographed for a global online audience. Within the last year alone, 139 Brits were investigated for paying to watch Philippine children being abused. Stacey learns how poverty combined with cheap internet access has led to an increasing number of girls being exposed to online sexual abuse. Discovering the harrowing truth behind this widespread exploitation, Stacey then exposes an even darker side - cybersex dens. We see Stacey at her best as she goes undercover for the first time and follows the police on a major sting, bringing her face-to-face with the criminals behind this new and disturbing phenomenon. She also travels north of Manila and learns that efforts are being made to help some of the 100,000 victims of exploitation, using therapy and counselling from psychologists - some of whom have suffered the same abuse as the children they are helping. Stacey is overwhelmed at the sheer scale of this billion dollar industry, but remains hopeful that if police forces across the world work together, there's a chance this secretive trade can be tackled.

Stacey Dooley travels to Florida - where sex offenders are punished forever. After serving their sentences, paedophiles and other sex offenders face legal restrictions for life. But there is a battle raging in the American state about these laws. Do they truly protect children, or just make the public feel better? And the crucial question Stacey explores during her trip: do they ever deserve a second chance? Stacey spends time with convicted sex offenders living in a homeless camp in Miami and an isolated community in the middle of nowhere - both consequences of strict laws preventing them from living less than 2,500ft from a place where children congregate. The offenders she meets hope to be fully reintegrated into society, having committed crimes ranging from watching child pornography to molesting children - but are blocked by the strict laws which restrict their movements for life. She also meets with Senator Lauren Book, and her father, lawyer and lobbyist Ron Book, who have campaigned for more than 20 pieces of sex offender legislation - including the 2,500ft residency restrictions in Miami - discovering that Lauren herself was abused for six years as a child by the family's live-in nanny. In Florida, Stacey struggles to come to a conclusion about whether sex offenders deserve a second chance, in the face of the harrowing experiences of victims and heinous crimes committed by offenders, especially when unexpected revelations along the way make her question everything she has learnt from the offenders she has got to know.

Behind closed doors, Russian society has a dark secret: it's estimated thousands of Russian women are murdered every year by their husbands or partners. Domestic violence is so deep-rooted in Russia there's even a well-known saying, "if he beats you, it means he loves you". Despite the scale of the problem, in February 2017 the Russian government decriminalised certain forms of domestic violence. In Stacey Dooley Investigates: Russia's War On Women, Stacey travels to Russia to explore the reasons behind this decision and the impact that the law-change is having on women. She meets the victims forced into hiding to escape their abusive partners and comes face to face with a prolific violent offender. She visits the hard-line Orthodox Christians championing Russia's return to traditional values and spends time with the young feminists fighting for equality - despite threats and intimidation.

One year on from her first visit, Stacey Dooley returns to Iraq to seek justice for the young women whose lives have been changed forever by Isis. In a journey like never before, Stacey joins Shireen, a 23 year-old Yazidi woman who was held as a sex slave for over two years by Isis. Shireen managed to escape while enslaved in Mosul, but many Yazidi woman like her haven’t, and remain in captivity. Shireen is going in search of justice - and she's taking Stacey with her. Shireen travels with Stacey back to Mosul, the self-declared capital of Isis in Iraq, to revisit the places where she was held captive. In East Mosul, they find the house where Shireen was imprisoned and sexually abused by a leading Isis executioner for months. But it’s the Old City of Mosul, where Shireen finally managed to escape Isis, that means the most to her. With a military escort, the pair travel into the heart of the Old City - where Isis made their last stand in a devastating and brutal battle. Here, Isis militants are still being hunted and bombs litter the street. Keen to see justice is being served, Shireen and Stacey sit in on an interrogation of an Isis suspect in court. But with the Iraqi justice system overwhelmed by the number of cases, justice isn’t as clear cut as Shireen might have hoped. Armed with their unanswered questions, Shireen and Stacey finally have the chance to get answers when they come face to face with an Isis commander in jail. He tells them he has murdered hundreds of men and raped countless Yazidi women and girls. His frank answers will stay with Shireen and Stacey forever. In a trip fraught with danger and trauma, Stacey asks: can justice ever really be served for women like Shireen?

Hungary has more Roma gypsy kids in institutional care than any other EU country and is facing a potential crisis. Stacey Dooley meets some of the parents, kids and social workers on the frontline of Hungary’s child protection system, as she investigates accusations by Roma families of widespread institutional racism in the Hungarian care system. Against a backdrop of growing support for nationalist and far right politicians amongst Hungarians, Stacey questions if there is a genuine need for Roma children to be protected or if prejudice is driving the growing trend to take Roma kids from their families. Visiting some of Hungary’s poorest communities, Stacey meets Roma gypsy families who are threatened with child removal and mothers who have recently lost their children, as well as spending time with the social workers charged with making the life changing decision to remove children deemed at risk. Stacey meets staff and teenage residents in Hungary’s children’s homes where often over 70% of the residents are Roma gypsy kids. Stacey discovers that many of these homes are far from a refuge from the chaotic families the children were taken from, but instead many are said to be rife with drug use, prostitution, physical and sexual violence, with care workers feeling powerless to intervene. Outside the homes she confronts the pimps who are exploiting Hungary’s most vulnerable children, only to discover many of them are Roma themselves. Caught between anti-gypsy hostility in their communities, the demands of child protection services, and growing up in struggling families who often have social problems, Stacey explores if there’s any hope for Hungary’s Roma gypsy kids in care.
