Bringing Bankers to Book

The director of the Serious Fraud Office on locking up bankers, the legal status of 'get out of jail free' letters, and will cuts make justice a luxury for the rich?

Why have no senior bankers been prosecuted for their role in the financial crisis? And should companies be able to avoid criminal prosecution by making a deal with a judge about how they work in future? The man who runs the Serious Fraud Office will be in the Law In Action studio to answer those questions and more as the programme returns for a new series.

Also on the programme, presenter Joshua Rozenberg examines the legal status of the so-called "get out of jail free" letters received by suspected paramilitaries.

And does the government's new announcement on legal aid mean justice could become a luxury for the rich, as some critics claim?
