Street Crime UK is a docusoap focusing on Law enforcement in the United Kingdom in various parts of it, as they go about their duties on the streets of Britain's towns and cities.
The police officers featuring in episodes discuss work, respond to 999 calls, enforce Public order, raid premises allegedly being used for illegal purposes, pursue and arrest various suspects, transport them to the police station after they are arrested. The show has a narrator who often updates the viewers as to whether the arrested were charged/tried/convicted etc and sometimes gives details of the sentences/penalties that were imposed on them for their lawbreaking, also updating on current events.
