Roger Graef is the creator and series producer of In Search of Law and Order: Reclaiming America's Kids. As a filmmaker, Graef is considered one of the key figures in observational documentary along with Fred Wiseman. His many films and television productions have made ground breaking contributions to the debate of crime and punishment, including "Closing Ranks," which studied corruption and domestic violence in the police force. His "Police" series for the BBC won the British Academy Award, the Television Critics Circle Award, and the European TV Critics Award at Cannes, and led to changes in the way British police handle the crime of rape. His documentary "Turning the Screws" covered a year inside Wandsworth prison, one of the very worst in Europe.

Graef is the author of the books "Living Dangerously: Young Offenders in their Own Words" and "Talking Blues: Police in their Own Words."

A graduate of Harvard University, Graef is a founder of Britain's Channel Four. He lives in London. Roger Graef is a Fellow of the Mannheim Centre for Criminology at the London School of Economics.
