Overview

Our fascinating Crime and Punishment tour investigates the social context of crime and the developments in policing throughout history.

Through a series of activities and workshops students are encouraged to hone their debating and problem solving skills.

The programme is designed to support the National Curriculum's Schools History Project GCSE development study "Crime and Punishment Through Time".

It can just as easily be adapted to support the Key Stage 2 Crime and Punishment unit and works great as a day trip for younger pupils.

Moon Hall College
Leanne was just brilliant throughout the whole process. She sent enough reminders to keep me organised, but not too many. She always had the answers to my questions - and when she didn't she checked and got back to me very quickly.
