The central puzzle is why did Musk and Trump fight a war when a division of Mars would have left them both better off?

Publication day for our long, long awaited article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social on the effects of community policing on police officers' own attitudes about the community!

Dotan Haim @dotanhaim.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Some takeaways: A. Bureaucrats' attitudes are crucial outcomes! They shape how they do their jobs. B. Field experiments are powerful, but we can learn even more by capturing unexpected insights that lead to new inductive theories. C. Huge undertaking by our partners and staff. We're SO grateful.

Dotan Haim @dotanhaim.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Community policing improved officer understanding of citizens' concerns but not trust, empathy, or accountability. But we noticed that certain officers reacted very differently! We theorize that social contact 1) helps "unembedded" bureaucrats but 2) backfires when it heightens safety concerns.

🧵 Proud to share our new paper in @apsrjournal.bsky.social (open access)! We used a field experiment to test how contact with citizens shapes POLICE OFFICER attitudes then developed inductive theory about when it works v. backfires. Paper w/ @matthewjnanes.bsky.social & @nicoravanilla.bsky.social

Hey Tim, I hadn't realized this until now, but I think because this was a polisky sub feed (which is now defunct), new folks can't be added to the list. I'll look into the best way to fix that!
