Can a procedurally just letter reduce recidivism among prolific traffic offenders?

Amina op de Weegh, @nivette.bsky.social and I just published our evaluation study of a Dutch police intervention in the new journal Evidence Base.

🚨 It's been a long time in the making, but I'm happy it's finally out!

Standing on the shoulders of giants, in this preprint we propose an avenue for theoretical development in the field of environmental (cyber)criminology with practical applications for crime analysis.

Don't know yet, but I happen to have booked an Airbnb in Exarchia, real cool vibe neighborhood. We walked up the hill in our local park. Great view!

We're now on this high-speed train, which the Dutch and Belgians might recognize as the Fyra train. It only operated a few months and was sent back to Italy due to teething problems. Here it runs smoothly so far.

We spent the night in Milan. Booked a hotel close to the train station, because we leave early today. Only one train, Milan to Bari.

Beginning my journey to Athens for #ESC / #Eurocrim! Tonight I head to Brussels, where my brother will join me for the rest of the trip, just like in past years. A tradition we truly cherish.

Ik hoorde het ook. Je kunt het vervelend vinden, een miskenning zelfs, maar dit is niet de eerste keer dat zoiets gebeurt.
Misschien toch ook nuttig als we allemaal eens in de spiegel kijken.

According to Heliyon, an open access journal from Cell Press @cp-heliyon.bsky.social, I am an expert on ovarian cancer. My wife can attest I know very little about ovaries, and I am trying to avoid cancer too.
