Dr Vasileios Karagiannopoulos, Director of the Cybercrime Awareness Clinic and Co-director of the Centre for Cybercrime and Economic Crime at the 1024�˹���, is one of the criminology consultants for an exciting new series of the true crime investigation show – Killers Caught on Camera. 

This is the second series of the programme which investigates how video footage leads to the conviction of killers around the world. It follows the success of series 1 which received over 22 million views in its first run. 

Killers Caught on Camera gains unique access to the video footage that leads to the conviction of killers. Experts explain how the latest technology builds a visual montage of evidence. 

Dr Karagiannopoulos, who appears in three of the ten episodes, guides viewers through key footage and critical moments to reveal the story of what happened.  He says: “Working on the TV series was a very interesting and rewarding experience. The programmes explore the role of CCTV cameras in murder cases and shows how information gathered from these cameras can be combined with other digital and forensic evidence to assist law enforcement agencies in solving the crimes and convicting the perpetrators.” 

Episodes focus on context to the killings, the science behind murder, and what happens in relationships to drive people to kill. In an age where cameras monitor our every move 24/7, whether it be the phone in our hands, cameras on public buildings or in our homes, our digital footprint is everywhere. Everyone is a potential witness. 

Killers caught on Camera will be available to watch in the UK on the CBS True Crime channel from Thursday 5th September at 10pm. Then every week following this, for 10 weeks.
