Inside the World of Britain’s Child Criminals | Crime and Punishment | BBC Documentary

August 20, 2025 3674 Views

Across the UK, police officers are on the hunt for a new generation of child criminals. This documentary follows the intensive police operation to catch Brandon, a young man suspected of leading a gang of burglars terrorizing elderly people in their homes. At the same time, we meet Jordan, a young offender who has spent nearly half his life in prison. He’s now fighting for his last chance at freedom, with a dedicated probation officer who is desperately trying to help him break a seemingly endless cycle of recidivism and homelessness. This is a raw, unflinching look inside Britain’s criminal justice system, asking whether it is truly equipped to rehabilitate these young people. As police and social services work tirelessly, we explore the deep-rooted issues behind juvenile crime and why so many young lives are defined by a path that leads straight back to prison.
