Description

The Police Federation’s Mike Bennett says the Crown Prosecution Service is under-funded and inefficient. Also, they lack the stomach for a fight where evidence is contested, and that means many of the crooks that detectives catch are not appearing in court. Bennett says the CPS is not doing the job it was set up to do. Male interviewer not identified.
