The Summer Quiz Round 6

This week’s theme is Law and Order   and therefore all the questions have been vetted  by  Theresa May .   Please don’t  PM  me to ask about / try out an answer . Also  if the question has several elements leading to answer –It is helpful for all concerned  if you show the reasoning that led to your answer.
