Crime reconstructions
News programmes may report crime reconstructions staged by the police for the purpose of gathering evidence. They should not normally commission crime reconstructions except for use at the conclusion of a trial. Revisiting the scene of a crime and/or interviewing a victim or witness do not in themselves constitute a reconstruction.
Factual programmes should restrict the use of reconstructions to the conveying of factual information. They should not be used simply to attract or entertain audiences. It should also be obvious to the audience where a reconstruction begins and ends.
