Criminologists often consider traditional criminals as being oriented to the present. Here, it will be argued that this view gives a simplified and partially misleading picture. Because of the nature of the criminal world, criminals are forced to fast decisions, vital for their future. Furthermore, 'hanging around' is necessary in order for them to take advantage of opportunities that suddenly arise. Criminals often demand more indepen dence than most other groups and thus more manipulative time for them selves. Finally, it is argued that a special kind of constant orientation to the future is more common among groups that lead an irregular, unpredictable life
