Religion, Politics, and Money...the holy trinity of dangerous discussion topics. In recent years you could add one more to that; policing. Everyone has strong opinions on the criminal justice system, and the citizens of this great land can both simultaneously join together, and be divided, by their stance on policing. So it can often be difficult to find a source of truly balanced journalism.

This week i came across a series of BBC podcasts that i've found facinating.

These are all BBC podcasts, and i thought i would put together a series of 16 links to the most interesting ones;

• Undercover Cops (File on 4)
• Police Restraint (File on 4)
• Witness Protection (File on 4)
• Family Annihilation (File on 4)
• Secret Justice (File on 4)
• Police Racism (File on 4)
• Violent Veterans (File on 4)
• Too Many Chiefs (File on 4)
• Highways Agency (File on 4)
• Bent Cops (File on 4)
• Cyber Spys  (File on 4)
• Coroners Under Scrutiny (File on 4)
• The Police Federation (The Report)
• Police Complaints (The Report)
• Mark Duggan Investigation (The Report)

Would be great to hear your thoughts on them!
