Roger Graef is one of Britain's leading television documentary-makers, often using 'fly-on-the-wall' techniques. He is particularly renowned for his documentaries involving police forces and issues of criminality, as well as a focus on youth and children's issues.

Among his more than eighty films, he is best known for his pioneering work in gaining access to hitherto closed institutions ranging from ministries and boardrooms to police, courts, prisons, probation and social work.

In Search of Law and Order, took an unique look at some groundbreaking ways of changing juvenile rehabilitation.
