Murder Prevention(2004)

Murder Prevention is a British police drama inspired by the real-life Homicide Prevention Unit of the Metropolitan Police. Produced by World Productions for Five, the series pioneered the "pre-crime" concept, following officers as they work to stop murders before they happen rather than investigate them after. The three two-part stories explore the tension between prevention and justice, examining how police identify and intervene in potential homicides. Created by Declan Croghan, Murder Prevention blends procedural elements with ethical questions about predictive policing. Later broadcasts recut the episodes into three longer installments, making the series accessible in different formats while maintaining its focus on the unique work of crime prevention specialists.
