Study Afternoon: Crime and Punishment
Come along and find out a bit about the history of the police, crime and punishment. Why not try out fingerprinting and learn about other crime fighting techniques. There will be an opportunity to get up close with some of our crime and punishment related collections including truncheons, a police lamp, and some of our ephemera collections with a focus on crime and punishment in Leeds.
Tea, coffee and cake provided.
