1/ This paper with Dimitri Landa has had a long journey, but we are psyched to see it in print in Journal of Politics @[email protected].

Here, Sidak Yntiso and I preview our forthcoming Journal of Politics @[email protected] article on the consequences of the Persky recall campaign for subsequent sentencing decisions in CA. We observe what critics anticipated: a substantial increase in punitiveness following the recall announcement.
