  Non quid sed quando valet

Selected Writings 

Special Occasions

Having been appointed professor and chair of experimental psychology and professor of traffic science in 1971, I served the University of Groningen for 22 years. Then, In 1992 I was appointed director of the newly established Netherlands Institute for the Study of Criminality and Law Enforcement (NSCR) and, concurrently, I became research professor of criminality and law enforcement at Leiden University. The following links give access to the inaugural lectures pronounced in celebration of these appointments.
The presidential address that I delivered in 1986 as President of the International Society for the Study of Time constitutes an other special occasion, especially in the light of the fact that the ISST has long been my favourite scholarly society.
