The #crime #justice and #society seminars are usually hybrid in Edinburgh and online, and are open to the public. For details see:

I'm biased but the Philly District Attorney's office just might have the best lil #OpenData downloads in all city government.
We just added the ability to filter by date and group by column and date period. This makes it that much easier for the public to critically examine the criminal legal system

It is well known that police recorded crime data is susceptible to substantial measurement error. However, despite its limitations, police data is widely used in regression models exploring the causes and effects of crime, which can lead to different types of bias. Here, we introduce a new R package (‘rcme’: Recounting Crime with Measurement Error) that can be used to facilitate sensitivity assessments of the impact of measurement error in analyses using police recorded crime rates across a wide range of settings. To demonstrate the potential of such sensitivity analysis, we explore the robustness of the effect of collective efficacy on criminal damage across Greater London’s neighbourhoods. We show how the crime reduction effect attributed to collective efficacy appears robust, even when most criminal damage incidents are not recorded by the police, and if we accept that under-recording rates are moderately affected by collective efficacy.

I am a researcher in criminology and socio-legal studies.
I taught several modules covering topics of #socialcontrol, #law and #development, #criticalcriminology, #crime, #criminalisation, #penology, #CJS, and #sociologyofcommunity.
My research interests revolve around the interplay between the visible and hidden elements of social life, amongst them a concept of the #militarisationofbehaviours.
