ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When the BBC went undercover at Charing Cross Police Station, it exposed shocking racism, misogyny, and abuse of power. But beyond the headlines, what does this say about the culture of policing today, and whether real change is even possible?
In this episode of Full Comment, criminal defence lawyers Danielle Reece-Greenhalgh and Edward Grange unpack the fallout from the Panorama documentary, exploring:
- Why misconduct and “bad apple” defences no longer hold up
- The blurred line between “gallows humour” and unacceptable behaviour
- How public trust in policing can be rebuilt
- Whether new laws on misconduct in public office will finally drive accountability
Candid, thoughtful, and unflinching, this conversation asks the hard questions about power, prejudice, and the kind of policing we want in a democratic society.
