I would be fascinated to know what Austin Turk would think about our modern political situation.

This is one of the reasons I am skeptical of AI in social research. Nomological and correlative approaches have difficult times explaining complex social phenomena. AI does too. futurism.com/apple-damnin...

👉 This is an important issue of The Criminologist. It contains five pieces about academic publishing in our field, three of which involve #Criminology. The final essays by @SJacques83 on #OpenAccess and by Deena Isom on the #PeerReview crisis are also terrific. 👏 asc41.org/wp-content/u...

What if schools could improve student behaviour not through punitive measures but by addressing the well-evidenced link between anti-social morality and adolescent problem behaviour? Join us and @satnavproject.bsky.social at our #eapl2025 workshop eapl2025.com/workshops/

The changes in the US Government are being guided by an institutional logic of corporate management, which is not new to other sectors (e.g., higher education and medicine). No one can claim these sectors became more "efficient" as a result. If anything, they all experience goal displacement.

Criminologists who prefer empirical models to theory-dependent falsification effort might be interested in this. Empirical models should never be reified. It is important to remember we live in reality and not mathematical space.

A few months I talked to a friend about society entering a dark age. The belief that we are in a post-truth world is a symptom and a self-reinforcing cause. As Marx reminds us in his Theses on Feuerbach, the material world matters. Ultimately, conceptions of reality must bend to reality itself.

I have missed Conan O’Brien. I watch him from the beginning and he’s been like a goofy friend who always knows how to make me laugh. Yes, this means I a have poor taste:)

The most significant event in the demise of etiological criminology was a simple change in how theories compete. Should theory competition rest on falsification or measures of model fit? Criminology chose model fit. Our replication crisis is the price we pay for that error. #criminology

What relevance does the replication crisis have for non-academic research, such as the methods used to evaluate social programs? In a new paper with Ben McNamee and Michael Lenczner, we argue that the answer could be quite a lot Article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... OA: osf.io/6hevp

Revised pre-print up! Most research on the replication crisis focuses on research methods and publication. Our research shows bad theory is something we also need to look out for. If theories are too flexible in their interpretation, science suffers. doi.org/10.21428/cb6...

PREDICTION is about forecasting (correlation and time ordering). CAUSATION is about establishing if a predictors) actually produces the effect, and EXPLANATION is about understanding how that works (identifying a plausible mechanism/s). Explanation is the prime goal of science.

Trial & error is a poor approach for understanding complex systems. If one lacks a sense of the organization of the system, one can’t understand successes, failures, or reliably produce them. Too much blind intervention can also interfere with the coherence of the system and cause it to collapse.

This is my first week off the other platform. I am excited to have far less extraneous ‘noise’ on this platform. I should have a revised pre-print up soon to share.

@dtha15.bsky.social you might be interested in the crim theory reading group I am coordinating. It will deal with a lot of meta science and theory.

Brendan Dooley and I are getting the Crime Theory reading group up and going again. Please let me know if you are interested. The focus will be on scientific theory and theorizing. It should be a lot of fun!

Unlike most criminologists, but not all, of course, I think a lot about how we think of crime as a phenomena and how that affects social scientific theorizing. Criminology is unique because it focuses on a social problem (crime), is highly interdisciplinary, and cuts across the humanities,
