Happy to have found my way to American University for the annual American Society of Evidence-Based #Policing @EBpolicing #asebp conference . #asebp2026

If you are at the conference, let's talk about your book ideas.

Proud to be a charter member. Lots to see with the new website, including an *international* jobs board with plenty of *applied* listings.

There's been a reduction in our follower count, as we work to toss off all the obvious bots. We appreciate your sticking with us, especially as the ASC mulls over whether it wishes to support our invaluable work.

My book ‘Crime and Civilization’ is now fully open to all interested readers! The book was published in November 2024, so it is still quite new. Thanks to Oxford University Press, and to Helsinki University Library for the open access! https://t.co/vsC1mVd62X

[Scott(ie) Jacques @SJacques83]

So um, I just made this "Criminology Faculty - Phd Program Explorer." I'll write up some more details and publish on CrimRxiv. I'm interested to learn what you think of this dashboard. Seriously, let me know. Amazing what we can do with AI 👀

The University of Pennsylvania, to their eternal glory, has digitized hundreds of rare recordings by great poets.

We're talking Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Amiri Baraka, Adrienne Rich, Ashbery, Eliot, and more.

Check it out here!

Latest edition in the Key Thinkers in #Criminology Series out at the end of April - and comes in all sizes

[Jennifer Doleac @jenniferdoleac]

Did you know that the Criminal Justice team at @Arnold_Ventures hosts a Slack channel for researchers, where we broadcast research ideas/opportunities and requests for research help from practitioners/lawmakers? Great resource for PhD students and junior scholars.

To request an invite, email me. (Address on my website.)

The most recent volume of the American Sociologist is showcasing a series of articles on the Chicago School.

Every scholar has a backstory. Find many of them at the OHCP.

Open access. Always.

[Dan Semenza @Dan_Semenza]

Before I became a gun violence researcher, I just wanted to play rock ’n’ roll.

I wrote for the @NJGVRC blog about how I ended up studying violence prevention: rejected PhD applications, indie rock bands, Sandy Hook, and finding a research community.

New case study for my Pseudoscience course

Gary Lafree has been laying down the knowledge in criminology for a good while now. See what he has to say about the arc of his career here:

[Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences @ACJS_National]

A wonderful keynote from Dr. Gary LaFree on how 9/11 impacted policing and scholarship and how we can move forward

[Oral History Criminology Project @OHCP_CCJ]

Our latest inductee into the archive is Wazzu's very own Craig Hemmens. He's returned the favor with inviting his OHCP inductee missus, Mary Stohr, to the honors. The two have fun together, as seen in a few pubs oriented around Bruce Springsteen.

[Andy Wheeler @CrimeDecoder]

Fellow criminologists -- is there anyone teaching gen AI courses in CJ programs? Let me know and will send them a copy of the book.

If no one is, feel free to get in touch. Happy to discuss doing a seminar/short course.

15 April - Hirschi volume in Key Thinkers Series👏👇

We're definitely partial to oral histories--and our alma mater's magical run to the Final Four.

Rare for a criminological career to merit an NYT obit but Blumstein surpassed that mark. We are grateful for the opportunity to preserve the history of our field, and for NYT's acknowledgment of his recording with Robert Sampson in our archive.

So many great quotes from @PeterMoskos in this episode, including his thoughts about why activists don't actually like good policing.
Drops Thursday at your local, neighborhood podcast provider.
