There is enough excellent, cutting-edge research on crime being done by economists that I can easily fill a weekly online seminar and biweekly podcast with those papers. But you'd never know that if you use the NBER mailing list as your primary source of new econ research!

And if you are someone who wants to follow the amazing research economists are doing on crime and the CJ system, well, attend the ViCE seminar or listen to Probable Causation.

Every time I read about another generous funder giving many millions of $$$ to an elite university, I think of the community college I’ve been working with to evaluate the effectiveness of student support programs and how they can’t come up with $50K to hire a student coach. 😩

(whispers) It's been *really* nice to see the NYT run not one, but two articles on how fines and fees are a major source of regressive taxation financing local governments, but man, my work clearly isn't showing up in google enough.
