Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistiken sollten „mit Vorsicht gelesen werden“, sagt DIW-Forscherin @annabindler.bsky.social. Sie plädiert dafür, neben der PKS auch Dunkelfeldstudien zu berücksichtigen. Diese beziehen auch nicht gemeldete Straftaten mit ein. Zum Statement: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

"Non-White scientists appear on fewer editorial boards, spend more time under review, and receive fewer citations" www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Citations in economics reflect scientific influence, elitism, and racial hierarchies about who is allowed to create influential knowledge. Especially bad for Black economists. Samuel Myers, Jr. has been researching this for years, and nice to see this new contribution. www.nber.org/papers/w33150
