Crime and punishment

We've covered the theme of incarceration in a previous programme, but it's time we revisit a rich seam through popular music of songs about criminal behviour and subsequent retribution by the law. It's also another opportunity to hear Billy Brag's fine piece of poetry "Rotting n Remand" as well as two sound track heavyweights - Lalo Shifrin and Roy Budd.
