There were already several reasons to boycott the US (eg worlds top per capita polluter, small arms manufacturer, etc.), but its support for genocidal leaders like Netanyahu and Putin puts it in a unique category of evil. Like, is there anyone in the UN supporting both Russia and Israel?

This feels like a real landmark, seeing the problem of penal populism confronted explicitly gives me hope. One point that still worries me is the view expressed that the process of sentence inflation is entirely artificial. We find that for many offence groups it isn't. bsky.app/profile/jpin...

Does anyone else see a lack of clarity in many social science studies about what factors are omitted variables (and should be controlled for) and what factors are mechanisms (which should not)?

Some context for what that kind of drop looks like. That's the lowest US score since the Civil War + a 1-year drop of that size puts us in the same company as events like Belarus's 1995 coup (though not as bad as Gambia in 1994 or Thailand in 2006) #rstats code here: gist.github.com/andrewheiss/...

New paper from us: ijpds.org/article/view... comparing self-reported and police-detected violence over adolescence and early adulthood. tl;dr we undercount violence with both methods and the people missing from the self-report are probably the ones committing the most violence.
