abstract |
In October 2009, Professor David Nutt, eminent neuropsychopharmacologist and world
leading expert on drugs, was dismissed as Chair of the UK government’s Advisory Council
on the Misuse of Drugs for comments he made at the Centre of Crime and Justice Studies
Eve Saville lecture. This article considers the role of evidence in political decision
making through the case of David Nutt. It is argued that the status of expert knowledge
is in crisis both for the natural and the social sciences. We examine the role of
the criminological advisor within emerging discourses of public criminology and suggest
that high-stakes political issues can open up unprecedented opportunities for critical
voices to engage in unbridled critique and to mobilise movements of dissent. |
