I wrote about what drives the revenue cities receive from fining people for things like traffic violations. Probably not surprising, but worth saying: it seems to be about race. Cities with more black residents fine more per capita and rely on that revenue to a larger degree.

You might know about revenue-motivated policing. But what about revenue-motivated judging?
The short version: judges suspend licenses for unpaid traffic tickets faster if their cities need $. Sian Mughan and I wrote about it for @thecoversationus

We think this is revenue-motivated judging. And, much like revenue-motivated policing, we should probably stop it from happening.
Oh, also: this is all based on our research in @PAReview

Police issue more traffic tickets when cities need revenue, and they can keep it, find Siân Mughan and @AkheilS of @asunews bit.ly/43GCpsS

I'm thrilled to share that I was recently promoted and tenured. I wouldn't be able to say that without @MeaganEhlenz's support (seriously, she's the best). I'm also extremely grateful to everyone @ASUPubAffairs. It's an amazing place and I'm glad I get to stick around!
