@LessCrime I echo @JedKnode on everything. Hot take: I encourage using library() sparingly and instead using the package::command() syntax. Familiarizing yourself with the commands of your most used packages will save you a lot of time searching for the right command.

@kaelyn_sanders A mentor once told me that writing is rewriting. This always helps me when I am writing in circles.

Saturdays are for the… birds! I made a few feathered friends while volunteering at the Florida Bird Sanctuary. The resident cat—informally titled as the “Sentinel of Squawk”—was given some love as well.

Consider supporting!

“Large, precise claims without evidence are an excellent place to situate an experiment.” Whether he is talking about 👮‍♀️ research, practice, or policy, ⁦@ian_t_adams⁩ always shares a thing (or two) we can learn from! https://t.co/nrxXsTJ8zV

[Ian T. Adams @ian_t_adams]

New preprint is up at @CrimRxiv, and looking forward to hearing feedback for our team with @Clempoliceprof and Geoff Alpert. These pre-registered results follow two six-month RCTs in Aurora PD (Colorado) and Richland County Sheriff’s Office (South Carolina).

Can we improve #police behavior by giving officers feedback about their verbal interactions based on AI-generated audits of bodycam footage?

Yes, and there are agency dynamics and implementation contexts to consider.

In a new article we show that Institutional Anomie Theory, with its focus on the interplay between social institutions and culture, is an extraordinary framework for explaining societies’ level of corruption. W/ @MouleCrime, @testaalex & D. Weiss.

As a School, we are working to reduce barriers of entry into our PhD Program. One of the most common barriers is the application fee.

Dr. Scott Wolfe describes how we are working to reduce that barrier at the MSU School of Criminal Justice.

A student from a different university emailed me because they saw the traffic stop racial disparity work our team has done recently. They wanted to know if there were any "shortcuts" to acquiring such data. In typing my response, I wanted to share my thoughts with y'all too. 🧵

[Travis Carter @TravisMCarter]

Super proud of @JedKnode and all the awesome work he has done while at @msu_scj. I am incredibly grateful to call him a colleague and even more so to call him my friend.

[MSU School of Criminal Justice @msu_scj]

Congratulations to @JedKnode on receiving the Outstanding Student Article award from @ASCPolicing for his article "Pulling back the veil of darkness: A proposed roadmap to disentangle racial disparities in traffic stops."

@ian_t_adams Thanks for the kind words, Ian! We are all feeding off each other’s energy and successes here in the @ASCPolicing this year.

[Travis Carter @TravisMCarter]

New paper in JQ with my amazing co-authors @JedKnode and @Scott_Wolfe_MSU shows that what you drive impacts your chances of being searched during traffic stops. Check out this 🧵 for more details. #OpenAccess

I cannot recommend this methodological discussion enough. I learn new things (and re-learn old ones) all the time. This is one of them.

[Jake M. Grumbach @JakeMGrumbach]

Quick question--in RCTs with pre and posttreatment measurement of Y, is the rationale for adjusting for Y_{t-1} instead of using unit FEs just about power, or is there some other reason?

[Travis Carter @TravisMCarter]

What better way to kick off my first "official" day at @USouthFlorida than to spend part of it at a farm sanctuary? 🐂🤘

[MSU School of Criminal Justice @msu_scj]

A team of our school researchers are using the "Veil of Darkness" method to examine police traffic stop behaviors in a recent study published to Criminology.

🚨New pub, now open access in @JPAM_DC.

In a large experiment amongst US #police chiefs and #sheriffs, we provide accurate state level public opinion data and elite peer data on civilian review boards (CRBs).

In this contentious policy area, what moves police executive opinion?
