JQ has just published the new research on white-collar criminals after prison by Diana Sun & Michael Benson. Looks like some aspects of reentry (stigma, publicity) are tougher on middle-class offenders despite all the social support they otherwise enjoy www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’ve had this situation where dodgy journals cited my research in reference list only (no mention in the main text) even though my topic wasn’t even vaguely relevant to their paper. Is it just poor editing? An invitation to a citation ring? An attempt to advertise their paper through email alerts? 🤔

Some celebrate women in science by misnaming one of the greatest female scientists in history and pretending she only used her husband’s name (she didn’t). Even worse are angry tribalistic comments posted only bc that name doesn’t reveal her nationality. It should be about basic respect, not about🇵🇱

People are rule-guided creatures. The causes of their actions are situational, an outcome of how they see and choose their action alternatives when responding to motivations in the circumstance, a result of the interaction of their propensities and the settings inducements.

Suspects weren’t any more likely to resist arrest by female officers than arrest by male officers (🇧🇷). Which will come as no surprise to actual police but probably will to women haters on social media.

E.g. prison sentences of 20+ years are given for drug supply offences, when there is little evidence that they have any more deterrent than 10 year sentences.

People, just stop doing Frontiers special issues. Find a nice diamond open access journal, and self-publish and collaboratively peer review the set of papers you all want to write. Do not give Frontiers money. They add no value. If anything, they hurt your reputation. MDPI is of course even worse.
