About Crime and Punishment
GoConqr OriginalWhat the unit covers
The resources follow crime, punishment and law enforcement through time. You will find material on the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, Norman England, the Middle Ages, early modern England, industrial Britain and the twentieth century. Some items cover the whole span, such as the mind map History (PAPER 1) Crime and Punishment (c1000-Present), which sets out the periods side by side.
Where to start
If you want the big picture, open the mind map Anglo Saxon Crime and Punishment first. It begins with the collapse of Roman order in the 5th century and the shift to localised law. Then move on to History Crime and Punishment 1000-1500, which sorts crimes into those against the person, property and authority. After that, try the early modern map on changes in society and rising unemployment.
- Early periods: the Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman notes, slides and flowcharts.
- Middle periods: medieval, early modern and Bloody Code maps.
- Later periods: industrial Britain, 1750-1900 and 1900 to the present day.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map, then test yourself. The quiz Roman Crime and Punishment asks about Roman society and methods of law enforcement. The quiz Crime and Punishment - Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Medieval runs across three periods, starting with who rebelled against Roman rule in AD60. Note the questions you miss, then go back to the matching map or notes.
Key words and dates
The flashcard deck Crime and Punishment key words covers terms such as assizes, constable, felony and capital punishment. The medieval flashcards add ideas like the King's Peace, trial by ordeal and collective responsibility. Several decks focus on key dates and events, which helps when you need a clear chronology.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Thematic Studies strand of History. Teachers can use the maps, slides and notes as ready-made starting points for a lesson or revision session. Pick one period, work through its quiz, and then make your own flashcards for anything that still feels shaky.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Anglo Saxon Crime and Punishment if you want to begin at the earliest period. If you prefer an overview of everything, try the mind map History (PAPER 1) Crime and Punishment (c1000-Present), then move into the period that worries you most.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 250 mind maps. They run from Roman and Anglo-Saxon times through the Middle Ages, early modern England, the Bloody Code and industrial Britain to the twentieth century. Some also look at single topics such as vagrancy and Whitechapel.
Which exams are these resources for?
The listed resources mention GCSE History and A-level History. All of them are made for secondary-level study. Check the content against your own course, since the resources were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr, and may follow different specifications.
Are the quizzes and flashcards free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Is there anything on key dates and terms?
Yes. The flashcard decks include Crime and Punishment Key Dates, Crime and Punishment: Key Dates and Events and a key words deck. They are useful for checking chronology and vocabulary after you have worked through a mind map.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Look through the period-based maps, notes and flashcards first, as many topics appear inside broader resources. If you still can't find it, you can make your own map, flashcards or quiz and share what you build with other students.
