Interviewer(W)         Mr. Fox(M)
Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
W: Well, Mr. Fox, would you please describe your feelings towards criminals?
M:(1)It is true to say there are criminals, certain types of criminals who policemen have...er...I have to be very careful with what I say.
W: Umm.
M: You see, I know a...a person who has been caught so many times that he’s...he’s become part and parcel of the station.
W: Umm. He’s been brought in all the time.
M: He’s always in and he’s a cheerful sort of character. And it’s his way of life. And this sort of people of course...are people that you...well, I say, have an affinity with, that’s not the right word to use, but you have a closeness with, you know.
W: They are part of your work, aren’t they?
M: You know, Old Sam is always in. And you can always guarantee that Old Sam is always in. And you can always guarantee that(2)Old Fred will do something stupid about a week before
Christmas so that he can spend Christmas in a certain prison.
W: Which he likes.
M:(3)Which he likes because he has a good Christmas. Then, of course, you go to the other end of the scale where you have a hard-core minority who are the professional criminals. And of course, one has no sympathy for them.
W: British policemen are not armed, that is they do not carry guns. How do policemen feel about this?
M:(4)I don’t think the average policeman really thinks about it, you know. I honestly think he does not think about it at all. I am sure he did, he would probably be a worried man.
W: Umm.
M:(5)The reason I say this is that the average policemen in this country feels that the average Englishman or Britisher is such a person that the use of arms and that sort of thing is foreign to his nature.
W: Um, he just wouldn’t think of using a pistol or something.
