Putting together the final touches on the inaugural special issue. Much thanks to Lorna Ferguson for her sterling editorial efforts and to all of our contributing authors. Special thanks also to Matt Logan for all of his behind-the-scenes promotional work.

Been receiving ASC membership notices and am thinking of not re-upping as I’m not convinced of the value. I’m leaning towards smaller conferences with more geographic diversity. 🤔

We need a term for social science authors who use AI to generate their papers, but forget to check whether the references actually exist. 🙄

Our new journal @evidencebasejnl.bsky.social will officially be launching its inaugural issue in April. Evidence assessments, cutting edge methodology papers, research commentaries .. www.tandfonline.com/journals/reb...

Back for another therapy session with my old pal, Phil @borealissaves.bsky.social borealisthreatandrisk.com/how-is-ai-po...

Would someone like to explain to me why men, who lack equal expertise and experience in my field, are explaining to me theories I’ve published books on?

I’m thinking I’d like to run a series clarifying or debunking commonly held crime & crime prevention beliefs at evidence base based on evidence assessments. I love gardens, but what is the evidence that community gardens reduce crime?

Has anyone ever done a Meta-analysis on the impact of sports participation in reducing juvenile offending? Do we know what the evidence base is on that?

Would like to thank the folks at the National Police Federation for inviting me to talk about the public safety perils of AI. They were a fantastic group and I really enjoyed the exchanges.

I’m thinking of develop a resource site for women to help protect them from online fraud, with a special focus on online romance and related scams. Thoughts?

Who do I know who does assessments on violence prevention work that I can bite on for a piece in @evidencebasejnl.bsky.social ?

Great chat Jacquelyn Fernholz at Routledge on how well PPR is doing in rankings, which is attributable to high quality submissions and an editorial team dedicated to increasing review throughput.

Heat stroking out in Athens for the ESC conference.

Who’s going to Athens?
