Synopsis
Justice Secretary Ken Clarke wants to reduce the prison population by getting more offenders on community sentences. But magistrates claim the effectiveness of some community punishments is being compromised because of under resourcing. James Silver travels to Liverpool where one district judge believes the Government needs to do more to ensure courts have the range of community sanctions they need to tackle crime.
Producer: Rob Cave.
