I have just rejected my first journal manuscript as a peer reviewer because of fabricated references. Not a nice feeling. I can't share it but what info do you need?
Fantastic, well done to everyone involved. I look forward to seeing the research that comes from this 💫
Photograph of a car with a squirrel inside of it, perched on the steering wheel. The car is the color of champaign at a beige convention, and the squirrel is the color of squirrels. The squirrel is holding a package of crackers in it's mouth. They are the kind like you get at a restaurant, where you get two crackers wrapped in plastic. The driver's side window is slightly cracked. This is how the squirrel got in, and how it got out. It threw the crackers out first, and then climbed out after them. Everything in this operation suggested that this was not the squirrel's first rodeo.
A closeup of the squirrel sitting on the steering wheel. The squirrel deserves a name, so we'll call her Anjeloma, and she's what you might call a winner. She is still squirrel colored. The crackers are white, and labeled "Zest." As if Anjeloma needed more zest. Squirrel, please. You can't see much of the car, but you can see smudges of grunge at the edges of the windshield, where the wipers have cast aside the debris of previous rains and pollen-falls.
The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.
Koper's 15 minute optimal hot-spot patrol time comes to mind as an example of an illusory truth effect in hot-spot policing circles.
Hmm, now to find a month to immerse myself in AI... don't think even my sabbatical afforded me that!
Measuring recurrent victimization: evaluating operationalization strategies and predictors using the Crime Survey for England and Wales by @ferhattura19.bsky.social et al open access @evidencebasejnl.bsky.social
Most criminals aren't bad people.
Most people commit a criminal act.
I love that Wikipedia is now going to be the most trusted source on the internet. A complete 360 from what we used to teach in the mid 2000s about how you shouldn’t rely on it. Bravo to the volunteers and citation nerds keeping accurate information alive.
Been asked if there's an official announcement, but no, not for some weeks - if all goes well. Brief overview:
ONLIVES aims to tackle the accelerating mutations of criminal extremism, which blur into other serious crime, including CSA and incitation to self-harm, hitting youth especially hard.

This week I presented an evidence to practice talk for The Centre for Family Violence and Sexual Violence Prevention about patterns of family violence harm committed by people who come to police attention in New Zealand 👮

Best way to find out your Horizon bid was successful: Paul Gill and Zoe Marchment pull you out of the room right after a public talk to share the news.
We haven't been together in the same place in ages. There would have been no bid without their help.
We have the most awesome research group. :)
All the congratulations! What a colossal effort you three had to get that bid in. So excited to be working with a stellar team to deliver it!
In addition to the 2* lecturer positions, we also have a Teaching Fellow position open in Psychological Criminology. An exciting time to be joining us!

Yes we publish the protocols (PAP in your world I think) at Campbell Systematic Reviews journal. All peer reviewed. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1891...
In the policy-oriented systematic review area, its simply too risky not to insist on sound conceptialisation in the protocol (aka pre-reg). Big decisions can ride on the rigour and reliability of sys reviews. The risk may be smaller in primary studies so I can understand why that varies.
Exactly so.
How the intervention/problem is defined, its philosophical underpinning/theory of change, how constructs are operationalised etc. Correct p-values on a poorly conceived problem are meaningless. There are recent egs of systematic reviews/meta-analyses that have done more harm than gd by ignoring this
I would argue the conceptualisation (at least in the sys review world) is just as crucial as the methods. Get that wrong and it's a house of cards waiting to be blown over.

You are so welcome! I love reading your threads. They capture the sublime everyday here 😀
🤣
Perhaps I need to be corrected then. It's what I've heard from other scholars and I may have missed the qualifier (e.g., post-colonial English rather than other countries?)
FINALLY, if this has hit a chord and you would like to continue to explore if these might be the right role for you, please get in touch. I'd love to answer your questions! In the meantime, I'm clocking off for the week, as the culture demands I do 😉
