Abstract
Crime scripting has become an essential analytical method in criminology and crime research, offering a structured way to understand the procedural aspects and requirements of criminal activities. Since its introduction by Cornish (1994), crime script analysis has evolved into a widely used method for organizing and systematizing knowledge about crime commission processes. This panel explores the latest developments in crime scripting, highlighting its diverse applications in both research and practice. It will showcase innovative uses of crime scripts across different crime types, discuss methodological advancements, and reflect on challenges in implementation. The discussion will also consider future directions, including the integration of new data sources, expanding the theoretical scope, and interdisciplinary approaches. By bringing together experts in the field, this session aims to push the boundaries of crime scripting and explore its potential for enhancing crime prevention strategies.
