Abstract
The book by briefly summarizing it and presenting the results and their possible impact in the various research communities. It concludes that both arguments and stories are needed for proper reasoning with criminal evidence and that the main aim of the book, combining arguments and stories into one comprehensive theory, has been achieved. The chapter ends with some observations of issues that could be interesting for future research.

Notes
- 1.
Which is based on earlier research by Bex et al. (2003).
- 2.
The last version of AVERS works with a slightly adapted version of the “static” hybrid theory. The dialogue game has not been explicitly implemented in the system.
- 3.
Examples of such questions are “can we be sure that the dialogue game always leads to a correct formal theory AET?” and “does a story that completes a scheme always have all of its parts?”.
