The Yorkshire Ripper - Trial & Aftermath

In the final part of our exploration of the crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, crime historian H. N. Lloyd discussed with Kristof Britton the trial of Peter Sutcliffe, which firmly placed psychiatry in the dock. We also look at the fallout from the mishandled investigation, and examine what happened to the police officers who so failed during the investigation. We discuss how the case changed policing forever, and look at what happened to Peter Sutcliffe during his incarceration.
