Ported my CV to Quarto with a hacked-together paged.js implementation to get around Chrome rendering errors with {pagedown} + RMarkdown. Looks good, works on Chrome, and prints perfectly again. LaTeX + PDF is for suckas. clanfear.github.io/ccl_cv/cv_qu...

Only skimmed but looks good. Our theory reading group was just on Stinchcombe (1968) this last term, so nice to see how some of those ideas have developed.

This goes beyond social media studies. Not an original thought, but there is prob some optimal scale for (informal) social control and I'm pretty confident it isn't potentially everyone else on the internet yelling at or praising you. Hard to grapple with delocalization of social sanctions.

How small conferences should be done: climb a hill and give your talk in nature.

New paper out today in JDLCC with @jacksojp.bsky.social. We use longitudinal data from Brazil to study implications of repeated exposures to police violence for adolescent legal socialisation and criminal offending @criminologyuom.bsky.social @lsemethodology.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s408...

To complete saga: Accepted 6, completed 4 already, and will do other 2 during one of the many flights I have in next 10 days. No more reviews for me until at least September (excepting Diamond Open Access journals doing god's work).

Okay, people are definitely fucking with me now. Got two more today after this post went up including a flagship journal.

Did someone recently add me to some kind of secret list shared by journal editors? At a pace of 2 review requests a day from solid journals for over a week now. On-target for subject matter as well, so I feel bad declining, but literally impossible to manage. Solid prank though.

Fun crim fact that came up in a chat this week: Quite possibly the first subjective expected utility model of crime came from Short & Strodtbeck, preceding Becker's economic model, and was even calibrated with empirical data. Ross and I discuss it in this book chapter: github.com/clanfear/ccl...
