Some ideas for topics for Round Table forums
Symbolism of the Round Table
"Arthur made the Round Table, so reputed of the Britons. This Round Table was ordained of Arthur that when his fair fellowship sat to [eat] meat their chairs should be high alike, and none before or after his comrade. Thus no man could boast that he was exalted above his fellow, for all alike were gathered round the board, and none was alien at the breaking of Arthur's bread."
Our primary intention is to maintain a clearinghouse online for the conduct of lively forums on issues and practical matters of crime analysis in which our readers are participating contributors. In a nutshell, our principal concerns are what do we do and how do we do it.
The Central Idea of the Crime Analyst's Round Table The primary vehicle of the Crime Analyst's Round Table is the
forum: an open discussion on a topic launched by an
initial article, followed by responses linked to the initial article
and by a less formal discussion board. Thus the reader should be able
to trace an on-line conversation among analysts and then join-in
the discussion in either of two ways.
Round Table Editorial Policies
The acronym "RSVP" will be found at various locations throughout
the site, inviting readers to respond in either the prepared response
or the discussion group format, or to submit an original forum
article, beginning with a click on the RSVP link, which in most
cases will result in an email addressed to the Round Table editor.
The first principle of the Crime Analyst's Round Table is that
all members of this profession who choose to participate, including
those in related fields such as GIS, criminal intelligence analysis,
and the academic study of crime, are welcome as equals.
