Salon North: Crime
Friday 25th September 2015
The Crown Hotel, Harrogate | 7.30pm
|
|
Join us as we
delve into the relationship between crime and culture, looking in
particular at representations of crime and criminals in all our
favourite media. Diana
Bretherick, practised as a criminal barrister and now
is a criminology and criminal law academic at Portsmouth University,
and will be on hand to put Criminal Myths under the microscope.
Vice President of the Forensic Science Society Lynda La Plante’s chief
advisor Callum
Sutherland is no stranger to the grittier side of
crime. He spent over twenty years in the Metropolitan Police London as
a Detective Sergeant on the Murder Squad and as a real-life Crime Scene
Investigator. Understand the realities, pressures and sensibilities of
solving the most serious crimes of all both at home and abroad from
Callum’s first hand experience.
And as promised…Gin, Glorious Gin! Understand the role gin played in
the criminalisation of Georgian women, in the clashes between classes
in Victorian England, and how prohibition created the UK’s
cocktail scene. This intimate focus, in conversation with
Helen Bagnall and cultural historian Olivia Williams gives
the lowdown on gin, glorious gin accompanied by the drinks that caused
all the trouble. Could there be a better way to ingest history?

Cloaks, Daggers and Masked Maurauders
as part of The Harrogate History Festival
Friday 23rd October 2015
The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate | 12.00pm
|
|
Cloaks and
daggers are out of fashion in the twenty first century but you don’t
have to step far back into the past for them to be right bang up to
date. Harrogate is home to the best of Crime Writing and here in
the History festival, we have our own corner of historical crime
bringing together some of the best loved names with stars of the genre, Robert Goddard, Michael Jecks, Shona MacLean and Andrew Taylor, chaired by Imogen Robertson.
