You do the crime, you do the time… or a third of it if you’re part of the early release scheme. The move has been controversial since it was first introduced two years ago - but public anger has been reignited over the scheduled release of two men convicted of killing PC Andrew Harper.

Niall Paterson is joined by home affairs commentator and former adviser to Yvette Cooper, Danny Shaw.
