Victorian crime and punishment

Crime and punishment in Victorian Britain was very different compared to today - or was it?

Due to popular demand join Doug Newlyn again for a fascinating talk at Essex Police Museum in Chelmsford, on Thursday, September 1, 2011.

This interesting evening on the evolution of criminal activity during Queen Victoria’s reign, takes place from 7.30 to 9pm.

Curator Becky Wash says, “Life was very different in Victorian times and this talk provides an interesting thought as to whether criminal activity has increased over time, or is merely a thought suggested to us through the media.”

‘Victorian Crimes’ by Doug Newlyn is part of Essex Police Museum’s new talks programme covering a variety of police related subjects including Essex murders and police memorabilia. 

Visitors to the talks will also have the opportunity to view the Essex Police Museum’s displays.

Tickets cost £3 per person and include light refreshments.  To book a space or for more information contact Becky Wash on 01245 457150, or email museum@essex.pnn.police.uk
