Brilliant panel at #ASCPhilly23 in quite possibly the worst room in the hotel.

Imagine discovering your preteen daughter had been groomed by an online predator and has sent pictures of herself to him. One of the first things you might do is call the police. You probably want to do other things. Maybe you glance at your gun safe. But you call the police instead, because that’s the civilized thing to do. When they arrive at your doorstep, they tell you that your daughter, the victim, could be charged with producing child pornography. Why track down the predator when they could more easily grab the criminal accomplice, your 11-year-old daughter?

This is reality for an Ohio man who, when two officers from the Columbus Division of Police arrived at his home, discovered they had come to charge rather than help her. The viral doorbell camera footage is so surreal it seems fake. But it is real, and it is illustrative of the deteriorating social order of a society gradually losing its collective mind.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Maine.

Tricia Asselin, 53, worked part-time at Just-In-Time Recreation, a bowling alley. Although it was her day off, she was there bowling with her younger sister. She is remembered as being kind and generous.

@cesifoti How original. Europeans complaining about the US, especially it’s food. I’m originally from Sweden. I have lived in Holland, France, Canada. All places have good and bad. If you only ate at diners with plastic menus while living in the US, you missed out.

So, @JillMcCorkel and @fadergator made fun of me so badly for the last video I made (rightly so) that I made them appear in this new promo. Not as easy as they thought. Although the cinematography is far superior this time around. See you in Philly...

We just completed a study on @SafeStreetsBalt and found evidence it reduced gun violence ~20%. ROI between $7 to $19 for every $1 spent on the program.

[Daniel W. Webster @DanielWWebster1]

1/ Big problems with this study. 1) Uses much larger area unit (Ward) than the intervention; 2) Doesn't include homicides;🤔3) Most analyses don't show DiD effects; 4) Doesn't consider other interpretations of the data that suggest positive CVI effects.

Well-researched article on the blatant racism that still stains biosocial criminology research. A shameful part of our past and present https://t.co/ykzz4OUW3i

@EvanMcCuish “Assertions about adolescents with features of psychopathy as posing a life-long risk for reoffending may require revisitation.” — agree here, and thanks for sharing your work!
