You be the judge (or magistrate)
How does a magistrates' court trial work? How do you decide if a defendent is guilty? If you have your bike nicked because you didn't secure it, does that make you partly responsible for its theft?
These questions and more were answered during a series of interactive virtual trials, held at Cambridge Regional College during Inside Justice Week.
Secondary students got a taste of what being a magistrate entails.
They watched filmed testimonials, given by actors pretending to be a victim, defendant and witnesses involved in a mock trial.
They read through the evidence for the prosecution and the accused.
They got to cross-examine those involved in the trial using an interactive computer game, called E-ngage. Participants in another room got to answer their questions in their various roles.
And after hearing all the evidence, the students voted on whether or not the defendent was guilty.
The sessions were run by Sergeant Dave Glover, recognised in the Cambridgeshire Justice Awards for his dedication to reducing youth crime. He regularly runs sessions in schools, using interactive computer software, to engage with young people about issues surrounding crime and justice.
