Richard Quinney Class, State and Crime

Studien zeigten, dass sich Betroffene sexualisierter oder häuslicher Gewalt zwar Konsequenzen wünschten, jedoch nur in geringem Mass tatsächliche Strafe. «Die Anerkennung des Leids sowie Prävention stehen bei Betroffenen ganz weit vorne.»

I don’t think BlueSky is dying but I do think it‘s stagnant because there are only so many unpleasant terminally online politically hyper-engaged left of center aging millennials with personality disorders and a history of underachievement to draw from. We’re pretty much all here already.

I hadn't even realised Germany had reintroduced conscription until @davidbrenner.bsky.social sent me his recent paper on it a last week... The tittle...."When the state grabs you by the balls" turns out to be both literal & metaphorical. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Monitoring the scientific situation

People resist the "BlueSky is dying, we must be nicer to people to foster a lasting community!" narrative because they are in fact aggro bullies who don't want to admit fault. But also I doubt being nicer to people will help, we already drove the normies away they're not leaving Threads for us now.

Die Kriminalstatistik hat insofern (mindestens) eine Doppelfunktion. Sie begründet die Existenzberechtigung der Polizei seitens des Staates gegenüber seinen Steuerzahlenden. Der Polizei als Organisation nutzt sie, um sich gegenüber den politischen Institutionen zu rechtfertigen.

“My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it.”

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

"zumindest in weiten Teilen" - kein Pappkamerad so wacklig, dass man ihn nicht nochmal aufstellen könnte.

Great item today from @cheetah.bsky.social on JD Vance's forthcoming conversion memoir. TL;DR: Although Vance is Catholic, the cover photo for his book depicts a (very photogenic) Methodist church. www.thebulwark.com/i/192730409/...

Philip Jenkins Using Murder The social construction of serial homicide

Some first-rate science writing: For this story, @jdrakephd.bsky.social carefully read our recent paper and then we spent a very fun 90 minutes or so talking on zoom. His article that gets right to the heart of our model, explains it clearly, and then explores why it will matter in the future.

Outlander. Es gab eine Zeit, da lief der gefühlt alle zwei Wochen abends auf Pro7 und er ist so trash

I love this for them.

The Behind Bars Data Project at UCLA Law has released the first full dataset on deaths in ICE custody, offering a searchable record spanning more than two decades. Learn more: law.ucla.edu/news/behind-...

Eine polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik, in der nur die Bearbeitung von Tatbeständen gewürdigt wird, trägt hingegen zur Frustration der Polizei über die scheinbare Nutzlosigkeit krisenvermeidender- und bewältigender Tätigkeiten einiges bei.

True crime verzerrt die Wahrnehmung auf Kriminalität

The death penalty has no place in modern justice and is incompatible with respect for fundamental human rights. I urge the Israeli authorities to abandon their new law. www.coe.int/en/web/porta...

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

New report: The EU paid universities more than €100 million to build Europe’s border regime Universities provide research, analysis, data and technology for border and migration control - and lend an illusion of scientific legitimacy to ethically questionable policies. tni.org/borderlabs

Before my crim class starts I make the students fill out a survey where one of the questions is how has the crime rate changed since 1990 and last year only about 1/3 got it right and only 1/2 chose that it has decreased significantly

1. Idaho has passed the most extreme anti-trans law in the nation, a bathroom ban. The second offense would be 5 years in jail, and the 4th offense could lead to life in prison due to Idaho's 3 strikes law. It now heads to Governor Brad Little's desk. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is a chilling study esp. with the total embrace of AI by the Christian right & tech-authoritarians I do find it troubling that the article uses human characterizations to describe AI errors & problematic decisions. gAI tools are machines-they can’t love you or hate you. shorturl.at/HQc1z

least surprising paper headline of the day www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... this is very fluffy and i'm going "wait you claim to measure this using reddit posts" but the headline appeals

I just have to say… sociology is *not* a radical discipline. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

everybody, even and especially the people who love noting the inaction of those who post idly about firebombing Walmart, wants *somebody else* to firebomb a Walmart. everybody wanna be a bodybuilder don't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weights
