There's been a reduction in our follower count, as we work to toss off all the obvious bots. We appreciate your sticking with us, especially as the ASC mulls over whether it wishes to support our invaluable work.

My book ‘Crime and Civilization’ is now fully open to all interested readers! The book was published in November 2024, so it is still quite new. Thanks to Oxford University Press, and to Helsinki University Library for the open access! academic.oup.com/book/58687

So um, I just made this "Criminology Faculty - Phd Program Explorer." I'll write up some more details and publish on CrimRxiv. I'm interested to learn what you think of this dashboard. Seriously, let me know. Amazing what we can do with AI 👀

Did you know that the Criminal Justice team at @Arnold_Ventures hosts a Slack channel for researchers, where we broadcast research ideas/opportunities and requests for research help from practitioners/lawmakers? Great resource for PhD students and junior scholars.
To request an invite, email me. (Address on my website.)

Every scholar has a backstory. Find many of them at the OHCP.
Open access. Always.

Before I became a gun violence researcher, I just wanted to play rock ’n’ roll.
I wrote for the @NJGVRC blog about how I ended up studying violence prevention: rejected PhD applications, indie rock bands, Sandy Hook, and finding a research community.

New case study for my Pseudoscience course
The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated. Incredible reporting from @RetractionWatch: retractionwatch.com/2026/03/…

Our latest inductee into the archive is Wazzu's very own Craig Hemmens. He's returned the favor with inviting his OHCP inductee missus, Mary Stohr, to the honors. The two have fun together, as seen in a few pubs oriented around Bruce Springsteen.

Fellow criminologists -- is there anyone teaching gen AI courses in CJ programs? Let me know and will send them a copy of the book.
If no one is, feel free to get in touch. Happy to discuss doing a seminar/short course.

15 April - Hirschi volume in Key Thinkers Series👏👇
Feb 28
Both the start and end of my Hirschi book tour. One of my hosts @UESociology informed me that he shares a birthday with one of his major influences, Emile Durkheim. Even better: April 15th is the release date for the book.

We're definitely partial to oral histories--and our alma mater's magical run to the Final Four.

Rare for a criminological career to merit an NYT obit but Blumstein surpassed that mark. We are grateful for the opportunity to preserve the history of our field, and for NYT's acknowledgment of his recording with Robert Sampson in our archive.

So many great quotes from @PeterMoskos in this episode, including his thoughts about why activists don't actually like good policing.
Drops Thursday at your local, neighborhood podcast provider.
Coming up on Thursday on the @_ReducingCrime podcast, the one-and-only @PeterMoskos talking about the crime drop in New York starting in the mid 90s, his book 'Back from the Brink' and the state of policing research. Don't miss it!
