Abstract

In an uncertain world it is impossible to predict the future with confidence. At the same time, reliable methods exist for creating 'scenarios' --- descriptions of plausible futures that may confront us and which focus on efforts in deciding how and when to act. This presentation will cover a set of scenarios for the future of criminology using the well-established GBN methodology, examining data on the views of a cross-section of critical criminologists. The implications of these potential scenarios will be discussed with the panel participants and audience. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
