This book is based on my 2009 Doctoral dissertation “Evidence for a Good Story – A Hybrid Theory of Arguments, Stories and Criminal Evidence”. This dissertation was written while working on the project Making Sense of Evidence, in which a theoretically sound sense-making and visualization tool for Dutch police analysts has been developed. During the project I worked at the Centre for Law and ICT at the University of Groningen. I am grateful to my supervisors Henry Prakken, Bart Verheij and Peter van Koppen. I owe much to the knowledge and advice they have shared with me over the years. I also thank John-Jules Meyer, Arend Soeteman and William Twining for taking the time to read, assess and comment on my dissertation. Furthermore, I thank Susan van den Braak, Gerard Vreeswijk and Herre van Oostendorp, who worked on the project at the University of Utrecht and who have provided important feedback by implementing and testing the sense-making system AVERS. I thank everyone who, over the years, has shown an interest in and commented on my work. The argumentation, evidence and the AI and Law communities I thank for the interesting and fruitful conferences and discussions. In particular, I would like to mention Katie Atkinson, Trevor Bench-Capon, Tom van Engers, Tom Gordon, Jeroen Keppens, Chris Reed, Burkhard Schafer and Douglas Walton.
