Just to reiterate, these are really good post-docs: Relatively low teaching load (and the teaching is usually interesting and helpful from a career-perspective), friendly and supportive community, and a focus on helping you produce research and launch a career. Many very successful alumni!

Trump has wiped out injury and violence prevention at the CDC. Surveillance systems and programs to protect kids from things like firearm injuries and drowning...just gone. Tariffs and the price of eggs don't mean a damn thing if we can't even keep our kids safe. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Through its actions, the Trump administration has declared war on measurement. Out of sight, out of mind?

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Just dropped a new piece on my newsletter. Were the trades made before Trump’s April 9 tariff announcement luck or insider trading? I estimate the odds it was luck alone. 1 in 4,484. And the payout amount? Over 1 in 10 million. data-and-politics.ghost.io/3-500-return...

To achieve true technological sovereignty, the European Union must move beyond its current narrow focus on competitiveness and deregulation and adopt a more strategic approach, argue @marietjeschaake.bsky.social and @maxvonthun.bsky.social.

Ethnic disparities in sentencing are real. Mandating pre-sentence reports for ethnic minority offenders will help reduce those disparities. But it doesn’t tackle class disparities - which are just as worrying. And - rightly or wrongly - leads to public perceptions of inequality under the law

@ointegridadesp.bsky.social el art 32.4.a del RD 678/2023 impone la abstención en comisiones de selección a plazas cuando se haya estado en equipo de investigación. Me llega k esto se está interpretando como solo aplicable a EdI y no equipo de trabajo. Eso es legal?

No se puede dejar morir esta iniciativa ciudadana respaldada por más de 700.000 firmas y 900 organizaciones. Tiene que llegar lo antes posible al pleno para su debate. Alargar los plazos y posponer el debate solo alimenta al odio. www.huffingtonpost.es/politica/sum...

Una de las tendencias más interesantes en la "crimi" española es el desarrollo de una cada vez más trabajada historiografía de nuestro pasado control penal y policial

Las comunidades gobernadas por el #PP aplican políticas agresivas contra la universidad pública mientras miman a la privada. No es casualidad, es un modelo de exclusión y negocio con la educación. En #Andalucía también lo vivimos

You can see driving around London that the size of cars is starting to slow down traffic. Parked SUVs make streets narrower, and if you have another trying to squeeze through the whole thing grinds to a halt

Anyone have materials for a general intro to open science, especially Crim oriented? I'm revamping an old lecture to give next week and it would be nice to see what others have been doing. Will of course put my own end product up publicly afterward.

"The dismantling of CDC’s injury data collection team is nothing short of a public health catastrophe. CDC’s WISQARS is a crucial tool that informs our understanding of America’s gun violence epidemic. Without it, we’re cast into the dark as to the scope of the number one killer of kids."
