New article in Criminology! Drawing on theories of colorblind racism and the history of "law and order" politics, my co-authors and I examine how attitudes toward the police and race relations influenced voting behavior in the last presidential election. https://t.co/JZVfjTjIee

On criminological humility. "Criminologists may disagree on questions of causality, but they agree that outsiders underestimate the complexity of criminology... Anyone who hasn’t studied this professionally has more confidence than they ought to have.” https://t.co/cdqfS8L8mI

@KimberlySMeyer On the last day, I often ask students to write a reflection piece on something they learned in the course. On a whim, I switched the instructions at the last minute (see below). I said anything about the class was fair game & they could make fun of me but not individual students.

I taught a course on social inequality, crime and justice this fall and my students created memes on the last day of class (thanks to @Dr_B_Pearl for the inspiration!). We all needed the laugh, so this was a great way to wrap up the semester. (1/15)
