This resource is aimed at students studying Crime and Punishment either at KS 3 or as part of a GCSE Specification. A PowerPoint is used to give a basic outline of policing in the Middle Ages and how people were tried, with emphasis on different types of courts, trial by ordeal, punishments and the overall inequalities in the system. The PowerPoint contains both starter and plenary activities and there is a worksheet to accompany the PowerPoint which provides students with a number of tasks to complete.
