| Sumario: | The article explores the concept of mind-mapping. It is a tool used for eliciting, representing and integrating knowledge held by diverse informants. Mind-maps are useful for communication within transdisciplanary team and focus groups with a diverse range of stakeholders. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in Great Britain has funded a MAGNET project aimed at developing theoretical models of gun crime to inform stakeholder decision-making about interventions. A second phase of the project was launched aimed at accessing and representing the explicit and implicit knowledge of a variety of stakeholders including police officers, youth offending teams, community groups, drug action team, academics, parents of youngsters involved in gang shootings and offenders.
