CRIME AND PUNISHMENT THROUGH TIME
LOCATION: LONDON
In this session, students will explore crime and punishment across three time periods – the Anglo-Saxons, the Georgians and the Victorians. Using real and replica objects from the museum’s collection, students will have the opportunity to ask questions and identify different forms of punishment, as well as to recognise the changing attitudes to how those who commit crimes are punished.
Students will:
- Be able to identify historical crimes that are no longer crimes today
- Be able to explain why different sentences are chosen for different crimes
- Be able to explain the purpose of sentencing
