Mr Gamble contributed to the programme in response to the headline : 'Police chief calls for paedophiles who view child abuse images to be spared prosecution as officers 'can't cope' with. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/28/police-chief-calls-low-risk-paedophiles-spared-jail-officers/volume of reports'Mr Gamble did not support this approach.He continued with this important contribution that we recognise. The DBS was significantly weakened by the demolition of Section 5 during the passage of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
