New review of evidence finds most-effective police crime prevention is: a) focused on very specific places (not people or neighbourhoods), and b) tailored to preventing a *specific* type of crime. ⚠️ Broad-brush crime prevention generally doesn't work. https://t.co/RuGvosq3T1

New article, free download, slightly controversial? Police stops nearly always exhibit racial disparity, compared to citywide population. But what if you use a denominator that better reflects actual police work? Then it get's interesting... https://t.co/yHrMPNQ8Xj 1/2

We have lost a legend in the field RIP Ron
Ron Clarke was one of the most influential criminologists of our time. He was also a valuable mentor to all of the students fortunate to cross paths with him at Rutgers. I will always remember how kind and supportive he was to me. He will be missed. https://t.co/X4Hs1A3AOV
