Our Criminal Past: Educating Historians of Crime: Classroom, Archive, and Community

This enlightening and well-attended day was the second of three research networking events, each organised by Dr Heather Shore (Leeds Metropolitan University) and Dr Helen Johnston (University of Hull ), and supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. As such, it was the second opportunity for scholars, archivists and those engaged in an educational and heritage capacity in museums and prisons who are interested professionally and academically in Our Criminal Past and its future, to meet, discuss, hear excellent papers, and discuss further. Held at Broadcasting Place, Leeds Metropolitan University, the event was attended by over fifty established and newer members of the network all interested and involved, in particular for this event, in educating crime historians - academically in schools, and in further and higher educational establishments, as well as in local history heritage sites
