CA Prop 1 has lots of problems, but it passed. Whether that's for good or bad now comes down to implementation.
In @latimes, I argue that simply adding $$ and beds is not a real plan. Poorly delivered care can backfire.
So how do we get this right? 🧵

What an honor to receive this award! Thanks so much to the anonymous person that nominated my paper - what a wonderful surprise! I wish I could have been there in person to receive it but was taking care of my new family member - baby Ben ❤️

thanks @PeterMoskos for this chat on public order, harm reduction, & making our social control institutions better.
Plus a plug for ethnography: nothing gets us beyond our ideological comfort zone and theoretical priors like fieldwork
I have a new podcast episode! (Yeah, it's been a while.) Because I read a really great book. So I reached out to the author. And here we are chatting for an hour like smart people. Ain't podcasts great?

More a reminder to myself, since I meant to say when I finished reading it: "Sons, Daughters & Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness & Homelessness in LA" by @NeilMGong is a _shockingly_ good book. I want to talk about it and maybe interview him. https://t.co/gGRN9klxqZ
@PeterMoskos Wow, thanks Peter, this is so kind. FYI I've been teaching chp 2-3 of "Cop in the Hood" and a little of the flogging stuff to my undergrads for a while, so I'd be very happy to chat. and maybe have you zoom in next year?
I'm grateful that my colleagues Jesse Cordes Selbin, Sarah Macdonald, and I received this year's Scholarly Contributions to Teaching and Learning Award from the @ASAnews's section on @AsaTeaching! #ThankYou#sociology#soctwitter https://t.co/CglpHuV7ua

Thanks to Scholars Strategy Network for having me on the "No Jargon" podcast!
