Check out our new paper on gun carrying over the life course!
New in @ScienceAdvances from @PHDCN_Study: 2/3 of people who ever carried guns began in adulthood, and their patterns of carrying differ greatly from those who began carrying in adolescence. Open access at science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… #ScienceAdvancesResearch

I think most academics make a wrong cost-benefit analysis when deciding to publish their work as a book vs putting it online yourself for free. I predict that putting it online yourself will on average lead to higher returns on any metric you care about (prestige, money, impact).

On its present trajectory, the US firearm stock is forecast to grow from 393m firearms (2022) to 564m firearms by 2034. Modest efforts to retrieve unwanted firearms could drastically alter the number of firearms in circulation in years to come. ja.ma/3YDggeO

Out now in Criminology @ASCRM41, @kirk_davids and I find Airbnb activity associated with crime in London neighborhoods. Results are more consistent with short-term lettings providing opportunities for crime than reducing collective efficacy over time. doi.org/10.1111/1745-9125.12…

New #inequality paper!
I find that rising inequality in the U.S. links with wider socio-economic gaps in what -and how much- economic support parents give to young adults 👵👴➡️👨🦱
Very happy to see this out in @SF_Journal:
