Hosted by Maxine Peake, ‘In It Together: The Joint Enterprise Podcast’ is a four-part series shining a light on Joint Enterprise: when multiple people are held responsible for the same crime. Maxine Peake, who starred in ‘Say Nothing’, ‘Peterloo’, ‘Anne’ and ‘Silk’, explores how joint enterprise works, who it affects, and why campaigners are arguing that justice is not being served by these vague laws. There are no winners when a violent crime is committed, and many parties are affected. This podcast looks at the grey areas, where the law doesn’t function as it should, where it is not delivering justice, whilst respecting the victims and their families who’ve had to deal with the devastating consequences of violent crime. Featuring powerful testimonies from ex-prisoners and their families, as well as legal experts, lawyers, MPs and campaigners. Join Maxine as she tries to make sense of joint enterprise and asks, are those convicted always ‘in it together’ and what needs to change?
