Check out our new paper on gun carrying over the life course!

[Project on Human Development Chicago Neighborhoods @PHDCN_Study]

New in @ScienceAdvances from @PHDCN_Study: 2/3 of people who ever carried guns began in adulthood, and their patterns of carrying differ greatly from those who began carrying in adolescence. Open access at https://t.co/p0bjoSRbfl #ScienceAdvancesResearch

Twenty-five years’ worth of surveys in Chicago finds two distinct pathways for concealed gun carrying in adolescents and adults. https://t.co/EAGAm4YRfS

I think most academics make a wrong cost-benefit analysis when deciding to publish their work as a book vs putting it online yourself for free. I predict that putting it online yourself will on average lead to higher returns on any metric you care about (prestige, money, impact).

On its present trajectory, the US firearm stock is forecast to grow from 393m firearms (2022) to 564m firearms by 2034. Modest efforts to retrieve unwanted firearms could drastically alter the number of firearms in circulation in years to come. https://t.co/PzgeDoYl3d

@FerhatTura19 @gmhales Huh, neat, had not seen that before. Definitely looks like some useful stuff in there. Surprised I missed it while hunting around a year ago. I'm exhausted on this topic for now, but someone ought to follow up on us using data like these.

[Charles C. Lanfear @cclanfear]

@FerhatTura19 @gmhales Yeah, for sure. I couldn't find suitable POI data in that time period but it has to be out there somewhere. If human mobility data were also available over the same time period, you could really get some leverage. I think the Airbnb data we used was recently extended to 2024 too.

[Charles C. Lanfear @cclanfear]

@gmhales Glad you liked it! It was a fun and slightly tricky one. Follow-up work using more recent data, on new regulations (e.g., Barcelona), and examining mechanisms at person or property level would be great next steps to really figure out what is going on.

[Charles C. Lanfear @cclanfear]

@mark74brown @gmhales From aggregate data like these, it isn't possible to determine if properties are being used for criminal activity or even targeted for it. It'd be tough to do, but work examining if this is the case is definitely worthwhile.

Are Airbnb rentals making cities less safe? 🏠

New research from @CCLanfear @CamCriminology finds a link between Airbnb listings and crime rates in London neighbourhoods👇

[Charles C. Lanfear @cclanfear]

Out now in Criminology @ASCRM41, @kirk_davids and I find Airbnb activity associated with crime in London neighborhoods. Results are more consistent with short-term lettings providing opportunities for crime than reducing collective efficacy over time. https://t.co/0HrkeKsbIt

New #inequality paper!

I find that rising inequality in the U.S. links with wider socio-economic gaps in what -and how much- economic support parents give to young adults 👵👴➡️👨‍🦱

Very happy to see this out in @SF_Journal:
