The self-styled paedophile vigilante group 'Letzgo Hunting' tell the programme they won't change their methods after reports that a man killed himself after being pursued by the group. The Leicester-based parents pose online as children to try to lure adults they suspect of being abusers into arranging a meeting. When their targets turn up, they're challenged by a team of adults equipped with video cameras. We hear from the self styled leader of the group and from the former head of the The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
Also another day - another initiative on how to deal with problem drinking. This time senior police officers have backed the idea of using what are being called "drunk tanks", which would see problematic drunk people being locked up in cells run by private firms and having to pay once they've sobered up. Victoria looks at initiatives which have come and gone in recent years.
