My co-author Megan Kang has a must-read in @ChicagoTribune: what 99 men from Chicago's most violent neighborhoods taught us about crime — and how to actually reduce it. Evidence-based, human-centered, and urgently needed right now https://t.co/cP0bRg5gcO

Nearly 30 years after Making Ends Meet, Laura Lein and I revisit the realities facing low-income families and reflect on new research examining how welfare & family experiences have evolved since the book’s publication in a new issue of @RussellSageFdn pub https://t.co/Hp72CpngJ0

@FFCWS co-PI, Jane @Waldfogel, and colleagues authored a piece in the Washington Post: https://t.co/Qw61WaeKDz (1/3)

It calls attention to tax cuts in the budget bill under consideration: "the tax provision included to help families, by increasing the child tax credit, would block the neediest households from receiving new benefits while piling on more aid for those with higher incomes." (2/3)

Looking forward to joining the “Creating Economic Stability” plenary panel at Economic Mobility Summit in Philadelphia on 4/22. We’ll discuss the barriers families face and how we can build a stronger foundation for economic opportunity. More info: https://t.co/HDqFkBGWng

Our new study, co-authored with @profshaefer & Olivia Mann, in PNAS finds that counties where young people have fewer chances to move up economically also see more violence. Thanks, @PrincetonSPIA, for highlighting our work! https://t.co/GkMiOVUXiz

More stepfathers may be embracing the "New Father" movement and drawing a strong sense of meaning and identity from their parental roles, suggests recent research by Sarah (Gold) Pachman and @KathrynEdin. https://t.co/CVEv8L736P

[Princeton School of Public & International Affairs @PrincetonSPIA]

A new study led by @KathrynEdin suggests that when young people in low-income families struggle to move up the social ladder, it might lead to more violence in their communities. https://t.co/bMCHwikcqV

The data used by @KathrynEdin and Sarah (Gold) Pachman for this study was made possible by @FFCWS, the longest-running birth cohort study in the United States based on a national probability sample. https://t.co/XhfGGN31lz

My co-author @profshaefer was on a Texas Public Radio podcast discussing our book "The Injustice of Place." Poverty isn't just in big cities; it's deeply rooted in rural America, especially in the Deep South, Appalachia, and South Texas. Listen here: https://t.co/WlVPdq2WGI

Drawing from the American Voices Project, a study co-authored by Professor @shamuskhan at Princeton finds that assault survivors express more negative emotions like anger and sadness in their life stories, highlighting the impact of sexual violence. https://t.co/bcn5IWl5PM
