Since the early 2020’s fatal dog attacks have been covered in the media time and time again and half of these stories involved a single breed – the now infamous American XL Bully. The incident that really put XL Bullies onto the front pages of the newspapers was the tragic death of 10-year-old Jack Lis in Caerphilly, Wales. It was Jack’s death – and the campaign work of his Mum – Emma that fuelled the conversation around dangerous dogs.
Dermot Murnaghan is joined by criminologist and author Dr Simon Harding to discuss where the blame lies in these cases and if the ban has actually helped.

In June 2020, just as the UK was coming out of COVID lockdown restrictions a rapid and ferocious attack took place in Forbury Gardens, Reading. The offender inflicted multiple fatal stab wounds and despite the best efforts of members of the public and first responders, three victims, James, Joe and David died almost immediately. Shockingly, it became clear that the attacker was in fact very well known to the authorities and had been flagged as a serious risk many times before, leading many people to question whether this terrorist attack could have been prevented.
Nikki Mitchell, BBC South Home Affair Correspondent, joins Dermot to discuss what went wrong.
