Dr Scott took abolitionist approaches as his starting point and explored radical alternatives to current penal policy. Furthermore, he explored what this approach might look like in Ireland and emphasised the value in looking towards dissenting voices in Irish history as a guidepost to shape an organic development of Irish abolitionist thought and practice. He emphasised why we need to radically reimagine a different future if we want to create a more just world.
