13:35 - 16 Jan 2018

The police have been told to crackdown on vigilante "paedophile hunters" who take the law into their own hands, after it was revealed that the number of groups who try to catch online abusers rose to more than 75.

To discuss this debate, we were joined by the Jim Gamble, the former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre - and Alex, who's the leader of a hunter group.
