CRIME and consequences was the main theme of a Citizenship Day held at an Oswaldtwistle school.
The year eight Citizenship Day held at Rhyddings Business and Enterprise School took a closer look at what happens if students end up on the wrong side of the law.

A series of workshops were delivered by Ynot Aspire, Lancashire Constabulary, Hyndburn Homes ASB Team, Early Break and HMP Prison Officers.
Students were shown how easy it can be to become involved in crime, some of the contributing factors and the journey that could take them on from arrest to prison and beyond.
A spokesman for the school said: "The day covered a variety of topics including anti-social behaviour, drugs, violence and what life is like for those who end up in prison.
"By considering how this can affect not only the person involved in committing the crime but also the lives of the victim, their friends and families, students are encouraged to make positive life choices and to think carefully before they act."
