Introduction

Have you ever wondered how crimes and punishments have changed throughout the ages ?In this writing:there will be details of crime and punishment from the the Roman era to modern Britain. Throughout all they times and further back in history. People have always committed theft most throughout the years 

Crime and punishment in Roman times

From the year 43 to 410 the Romans ruled Britain . Punishments in this time were very deadly even theft could end up which you dead. (It is proven that theft was the most common crime in history) During Roman times crime was very unequal . Some of the crimes that were used back then are still used to this day so are some punishments. Back then you were lucky to survive a punishment. A lot of punishments were public which meant other people could see.

 

Crime and punishment in
the Anglo-Saxon times

The Anglo-Saxons began in 410 AD. During this time, punishments were not  meant to kill you they were meant to make you stand out. Such as  is if you murdered someone you would have an M branded on you so people know you have killed someone. If you committed treason you would get a death penalty.

 

Crime and punishment in Tudor times

During the Tudor times punishments were all about pain and killing. Whether you committed a crime and they couldn’t decide if you were guilty or not you would have to walk across burning hot coals. Then you would be left alone for 3day if you’re feat wouldn’t heal you were guilty and you would be killed. Most of the punishments were public and some punishments include the public being able to hurt you.

 

Crime and punishment in the Victorian times

In the Victorian times a large amount of people were poor so children had to work. At the age of 10 you were a adult. If you were young and fit you would be sent on a damp wet boat and you would be shipped to Australia. If you got to Australia and the boat wouldn’t sink or broke you would have to work at a work home it was miserable when you turned 18 you would be let out. But you would probably go back because you wouldn’t have any were to go.

 

Crime and punishment in WW2

In WW2 ever one was important so if you committed a crime you would go to jail for a short amount of time. If you were caught selling things on the black market you would pay a fine and depends what you were selling you could have been imprisoned . During WW2 a lot of places were bombed.

Good factual information, Michal.  You have worked hard to vary your sentence structures, with some correct commas within these sentences.  You have chosen some key vocabulary too to support your writing.

Introduction

Do you want to learn about all of the ages? Explore the crimes and punishments throughout history. I will write about the crime and punishments in the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Tudors, Victorians and World War 2. All of the crimes are very similar, however the punishments are very diverse. For example, if you committed patricide (killing your father) in the Roman times you would be put in a sack of snakes and thrown in river.

Roman

The Roman Empire ruled England for roughly 500 BC to 400AD. There was no police so people would ask there friends to help them catch a criminal. The punishment for murder would be death and the punishment for treason would be death or be imprisoned. If you accused  someone the Vigiles would hunt you down and give you a punishment. They would deal with wrongdoers such as thieves and slaves, who ran from ther owners. Did you know the Vigiles would put out fires because there was no fire brigades. The emperor was protected by the Praetorian guard. When the Romans left Britain the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings raided.

Anglo-Saxons

The Anglo-Saxons ruled England for roughly 410BC to 1066BC.There was still no police so people would shout for help. If you committed murder you would have to pay 100 shillings but if committed a crime twice you would have your hand chopped off. If the judge could not decide if you were guilty or innocent then you would have trial by ordeal. Trial by ordeal is when you step on burning hot coal or when you put your hand in boiling water to find a stone. If you your feet or hand heals in three days you are innocent because God saved you because your not guilty. Interestingly, children are considered as adults at the age of ten.Did you know that when the Anglo-Saxons left the Tudors came to Britain.

Tudors

The Tudors rule from 1485BC to 1603BC. The punishments were all about public humiliation. For example, a punishment could be the scolds bridle, which stops you from talking by having spikes on your tongue.Another punishment is locked in stocks , which locks you in a uncomfortable position for a long time. This is what they look like.

A punishment for being drunk in public could be put in a barrel of beer.If people were accused of being a witch they would be dunked into a lake and if the drowned they weren’t a witch but if you floated back up you used black magic so you would be burnt at the steak. Once the Tudors left the victorians ruled Britain.

Victorians

Victorians would have public hangings and people would sell food while they get hanged. The first policemen were introduced and they were called Peels.Criminals would be transported to Australia. You would have to be on a cold damp boat for six months. Surprisingly, most of the people where as young as nine years old. A lot of people died on the way and if you survived the journey you would go to a workhouse. A workhouse is a place where the homeless people went for a roof and food :they had to pay 50 pounds. The workhouse would let them work for money but they only earned 20 pounds. If you left the workhouse you would have to come back because you would not know a thing about the wild animals of Australia .

World War two

The war lasted for 7 years. It was between 1939 and 1945. The most common crime was theft but world war 2 changed that to looting because lots of buildings were bombed. The punishment for looting was a fine or a short prison sentence. If you were caught selling on the black market you would be fined or imprisonment. The murder was more common so the consequence could be death.  There still was police and police duties increased because of the amount of crimes committed. New laws were introduced. For example, air raids, blackouts and rationing. There was not many woman officers and the police were called blackout bobbies. They were called this because they made sure that no light from houses and shops could be seen to stop German bombers from flying overhead. Children were evacuated to the countryside. This is what a German bomber looked like.

The crime and punishments have changed a lot throughout history. There are new punishments, which are fair ,for example murder would not be death it would be a lot of years in prison. There’re also lots of machines to prevent crime. For example, CCTV because they would have footage of the horrible crime so they would be found. There are lots of new crimes as well.For example, speeding and car theft.

 

Very good range of information for each era in history.  You have researched this topic well and I can see you have chosen specific vocabulary choices to suit the purpose of the writing.  Well done Theo!

Lc: To use different sentence structures depending on the formality of the writing.

Introduction

Have you ever thought about crime and punishment in the years? Well today I will be explaining the changes throughout the years. In this piece of writing you will see the crimes committed. There will be lots of diverse periods such as, Roman times, Anglo Saxon times, Tudor times, Victorian times and Word war 2 times. Some were brutal and some were a bit less. We will begin in the 500bc.

Crime and punishment in the Roman time period.

During the 500bc till the 400bc the Roman Empire ruled half the word. Rome became over-crowded this caused criminals to get away in the crowds. Murder and theft became very common. comon. Due to the amount of crimes, the romans decided to pick out some vigiles. Vigiles were very important as they put out fires, saved people and stopped crimes. There were about 7000 people in the team (only men). The crimes were always dealt with -unless you got away-. The punishments gwere  ?? based on your status someone that was rich would have a smaller retribution  than others. Theft was the most common crime was theft as people were poor to the amount of people. The most common punishments were monetary fines and whipping. Murder, on the other hand, was dealt with seriously. The punishment was being thrown off a cliff, buried alive or being thrown into a river. However the worst punishment was used for Treason the punishment was crucifixion. Let’s move onto the 410AD.

Crime and punishment in the Anglo Saxon time period.

Beginning in the 410AD, the Anglo Saxons took over and ruled Britain. During this time period, they lived in villages and hamlets. Every village had crimes that have been committed. The most common crime was still theft, the Anglo Saxons added leaders to each village. If there was any trouble caused the leader would deal with it. Crimes such as theft was a fine or a whipping. For treason or murder the punishment would be death penalty. However, if they could not decide if you were guilty they would perform trial by ordeal. Trial by ordeal was decided by “god”. You would be made to put your hand in boiling water or step on burning coals. They would give it three days if it was magically healed you would be found innocent. Now let’s talk about the 1066AD.

Crime and punishment in the Tudor time period.

Beginning in the 1066AD, when the tudors took over they dealt with crimes seriously. The most common crimes were still stealing. However, the people who the criminal was stealing from was expected to catch and bring the criminal to court. The punishment was whipping. Even the most smallest crimes had punishments. When gossiped you would have a scolds bridle on your face. The tool stopped you from talking and inserted spikes into your tounge tounhge. Witchcraft also has a punishment. The dunking stool would be used, if you died you were innocent if you floated you would be burnt to stake. If you committed treason you would be on the rack (stretched). As you can see this time period was very critical. Now we will speak about the 1837AD

Crime and punishment in the Victorian times.

Beginning with the 1837 AD, the Victorians took over Britain. They slowly developed into towns then cities. Many people began to work in                     factories factoreis. The most common crime was still theft and stealing;however,the most common punishment was transportation. In this punishment people were transported to the corner of Australia. They were transported by ship and it took approximately 8 months. Many people died on the way and some survived. The Victorian’s realised that there was many crimes. Due to this, they made a group of people named police. They saved many people and prevented prevnted crimes. If you committed murder or treason, your punishment would most likely still be death. These could be, getting hanged or getting sent to hard working labour and would probably starve to death. Let’s talk about something different now. Let’s start at the 1901AD.

Crime and punishment in word war 2 time period.

Beginning at the 1901AD. The police force would control the traffic, citizens and even the war. The most common crime would be looting, the crime was committed commited because people had to run and hide from the war above ground. The punishment would be joining the army as the death penalty was stopped. This was a horrible time period to live in. The war was stopped in 1945.

Very well- written report, Andrea.  A good range of sentences with correct punctuation and you have uplevelled key spellings and vocabulary well.

Introduction.
Have you ever wondered how crimes and punishments have changed throughout the ages ? If you have , you have come to the right text . The five eras that I’m going to be writing about are : the Romans , the Anglo- Saxons , the Tudors , the Victorians and World War II . Did you know that theft has always been the most common crime committed in those eras and it still is today?An example of a punishment for a crime would be getting put in a sack with snakes and thrown into a river to drown . This would happen if you committed patricide ( killing your father) .

The  Roman times
During the time spanning roughly between 500BC and 400AD , the Roman Empire ruled most of the civilised  world . During this time  , lots of slums and homeless people were really poor so they had to steal the food . So that is why theft is the most common crime committed . There is also murder . The punishments were harsh but not as harsh and the Anglo-Saxon and the Tudor punishments . If you killed someone your punishment would be crucifixion, and if you stole something your hand would be cut off to stop you from stealing again . Fortunately there was something to stop people from committing crimes sometimes . There were about 7000 vigils who dealt with criminals like thieves and enslaved people who ran away . Let’s look at crime and punishment in the Anglo -Saxon times .

Anglo-Saxon times
The Anglo-Saxon period began in Britain around 410CE . During this time , there were a lot of neighbourly  neighbours but also some people who would commit crimes . The three most common crimes committed were fighting , treason and theft . If someone was seen committing a crime then the witness could raise a ‘hue and cry ‘ (shouting for help ) . You would to pay money for  fighting because the doctors would need to repair the broken bone they broke . If you committed treason of theft you would be instantly killed .

Tudor times.
The Tudor period began in Britain in 1485 – 24 March – 1603 . This was a time of many changes . Explorers discovered new lands and maps had to be rewritten and there were religious changes across England and Wales . But people still committed  awful crimes! The most popular crimes that were committed were stealing , heresy and treason . Did you know , that there were ‘parish cons tables ‘ that caught criminals . To deal with these criminals , there were ordeals to see if you were guilty or innocent , the ordeals were divination , a physical test and battle . The punishments were being in the stocks , being beheaded and burned . Although these crimes are harsh , the Roman punishments are nicer . 

The Victorian times.
The Victorian period started    1837 and it ended in 1901 . This time it was fairly more modern than the other eras . For example they had police but they were really bad ones and they weren’t paid enough money .  The three most common crimes in this time were , not sending your child to school , theft  , and murder . Some punishments were really harsh . Like if you did not send your child  to school you would be sent to Australia for six months without for or water , you would have to hunt for it . Did you know , child offenders had to go to a ‘ Reformatory school ‘ to get help . Something that wasn’t fair in this time was if you were a darker skin colour they would treat you differently and even execute you! But obviously this has changed now . 

World War II
World War II started in 1939 and it ended in 1945 . This era is the most Modern  era I am going to be writing about . The three most common crimes committed were looting , the black market and murder . There were more reliable police then and they got a more average wage . The punishments weren’t as harsh . Nobody was getting killed (only if you committed murder) , they probably just went in prison for a few years or they might have got a fine . Did you know , that the court was much more serious and fair ! For looting you would get a fine or a short prison sentence . For committing the black market you would get a big fine and imprisonment. Lastly , for murder you would be put to death if you were guilty .

An excellent and informative report, Violet.  A good range of sentence types with subject- specific vocabulary throughout.  A few missing commas in clausing- but only a few!  Always remember formality though- try not to start sentences with “Like…”

Introduction.
Have you wondered about crime and punishment though out the past? However the most common crime through out the past was theft. In this writing, there are facts about the Roman era to the  Morden Britain. Further back history there has always been punishments for the crimes that people  had done.

If a jury  man could nor decide if a person was innocent or guilty  of a particular  crime. The church and the local lords  had the power to decide. 

Well done for completing paragraphs for these eras in history.  Very good introduction and key points given. Check through your spellings as well as adding commas for clauses in your report.

Crime and punishment

There are many different types of punishment depending on the time and place, this is what I am going to write about today. There are 5 types of unique time lines. These  are Roman , Anglo-Saxons , Tudor , Victorian and World War 2. Do you want to be in any of these times?Some of them even had deafening life ending punishment’s that nobody  will ever want. I don’t think anyone would, would you? When you stool you could get whipped.

Roman

There were horrible life ending punishments that people would want to get. Like one of the worst punishment like nails hammered you down until  you can’t breathe anymore the pain is just awful and impossible  to watch the pain will hurt forever. Also, it will be a very slow and humiliating punishment to get. It was only used when you hurt someone like kill them could be anyone.It was called the criss fecshion. All the worst punishments were during 500BC and 400AD in the Roman Empire. The most common sines of theft is stealing because everyone was poor and you could get killed for it and you would want yourself and your family to sevive. There were witnesses and manifest to cach them. They had dirty streets and a huge population of 45 million. If you were pout somewere to stay for your punishment you will get Woden soes so it will be hard to escape but sometimes you will get a Woden necklace to say you crime so people know to stay away from you. If you steal you will need to pay 4 times the amount that it cost if you can’t you could get killed. If you have a son or someone in your family that got mudded you can kill them with out you having a punishment.

Anglo-Saxon

Theft was still the most attempted  because people were still very poor. Is you stool something your limes will get chopped off. So you can’t get a job or really eat properly. Also, very hungry, it was a very small village so there worn’t that many jobs but it was easy to get cached. If they needed help they would shout for help then people will come and help them.The king decided’s your punishment just like the rules if you kill him or a lord you will get a death penalty. Hue and cry are expected to help to cach the criminal since there was no police.Tithing which is 10 men that was in charge of there group ( behaviour).Did you know that the church can decide the punishment. Blood pice if you injured someone they could get lots of money.If you kill someone the family will get the money from the murder because you can’t give the money to the person that you killed. There was a trial by ordeal it is when they tell you to pick up a stool or sark over burning hot cool or pick up iron.

Tudor

The Tudors lived for 1485 to 1603bc, they went to church regularly. Also, loads of people dieded before they turned 35 years old. They lived in Britain for a very long time. There was loads of small towns and villages  preventing crime.There was the scols bride which stops you from torking there was also such thing as the stooks. There was still no police officer,They believe if  the punishment was painful anuth people won’t do it.Whipping was the most common punishment  for these crimes: homelessness, stealing and not going to church.If you committed tresion you could get exaacuted and hung also burned like a stack.

Victorian

Theft was still the most common crime committed   in the Victorian times. There has started to be a police force which helped lots of people protected Britain. There started to be more prisons and fines instead of death. Which is better for all of them but if you stool or killed someone you will get sent to Australia which you can die on the bot and it was very harsh in that time every crime that you commited you would go to prison for crimes that aren’t that bad or a fine but all of them you normally go to Australia. Thankfully that stopped in 1857 now they will only use prison and crime’s.

World war 2

Theft was of course the most common crime committed  in the world,it was because at night there were no lights to see what they are doing, shops and homes have been  bombs so it is easier to steal there belongings from them.There was no death penalty’s but loads of people died because of the air was so fin the only reason why that is was the bombs. 

Brillant facts, Chelsea for all 5 of the periods in history.  You have used commas and sentence punctuation well but have another look at key spellings- eg  stole, crucifixion, committed.
