Exciting new addition to the AsPredicted and ResearchBox research infrastructure toolbox: AsCollected ascollected.org A platform to document results provenance - where did data come from, who collected it, and who cleaned and analyzed it. So important!

I have a new paper on "The Psychology of Virality" with @steverathje.bsky.social We explain how similar psychological processes (eg preferential attention to negativity, social motives, etc.) drive the spread of information across online and offline contexts: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thank you to ENOC and the colleague who nominated me! It’s very motivating, and I look forward to getting more criminologists excited about open science.

Do you have suggestions for what should be included (or avoided) in a good methods handbook? Let us know! (3/4)

The book will be a resource for anyone who wants to extend their methods tool box, covering a wide range of quantitative and qualitative approaches as well as introducing key challenges that scholars in this field must address (e.g.,documenting causality, dealing with too low data volumes). (2/4)

UCL returned to in-person assessment for 50% of assessments in a module this year. I don’t know if huge discrepancies between a module‘s online and in-person marks have been observed though.

I am thrilled that Victoria Bowland published her MSc research. She showed that young people who are radicalised online are more readily perceived as victims, which shapes the public’s support for distinct criminal justice responses. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A timely reminder at Charité in Berlin to remember persecuted science (and that the persecution of science is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes).

We hope to encourage greater specificity in research that examines the ‘radicalising potential‘ of the internet and highlight that internet use that enhances capability warrants more (research) attention. 2/2

"We are losing sight of the academic mission: to think, to enquire, to design & perform new research, to innovate, to teach & communicate our findings for the purpose of societal improvement" A painfully accurate read. That lays out the folly of the modern uni! academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

#Germany's federal criminal police office, not exactly known for over-counting such things, reports that at least 41,000 crimes with a right-wing extremist motive were committed in 2024, a 1/3 increase compared to 2023. 2023, with a 23% increase on 2022, had already marked an all-time high #farright
