In December 2009 the UK Home Office announced the government’s new policy of publicising the criminal court judgments on individual offenders to the local communities in which those offenders live. The Home Office stated that this is public information obtained from the public forum of the criminal court, and that such publicising is merely enhancing the job previously carried out by local reporters and newspapers covering the local criminal court. The initiative follows the 2008 Casey report that aimed to find ways to reassure the general public on matters of confidence in the criminal justice system. The authors discuss how this initiative might work in practice, based on earlier experiences of making offenders more visible to the communities from which they come.

The secret filming of parents visiting their children in hospital in order to 'capture' possible child abuse has aroused some controversy. The development of covert video surveillance (CVS) over the last ten years is outlines, together with its link to the Munchausen Syndrome by proxy. An attempt is made to illustrate the difficulties of fitting CVS into established child protection procedures and into the ethos of the Children Act 1989.
