New pub alert 🍾
The most challenging yet rewarding paper I’ve worked on: 3y from idea to publication in BJC!
I explore how unstructured spare time shapes individual and temporal differences in crime, and propose a spare time model in criminology.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

A cartoon titled ‘The Life of a Scientist’.

(The life is depicted as a set of steps, three up then three down with a character on each)

Baby: Such a mysterious world!
Child: I must search for answers
Young adult: Each answer leads me to more questions
Middle age: ... At least I've got lots of questions
Old age: Ok, I guess questions are my thing now
From grave: Such a mysterious world!

Very sad to hear that Ron Clarke has died. He originally identified that understanding crime *opportunities* is much more important in preventing crime than studying factors like offender genetics or upbringing.

Millions have not been victims because of his work. He was also a truly nice guy.

Firaxis—the studio behind the Civilization series—is hiring a historian. An *actual* historian.

And note, when they ask for "4+ years as a Writer, Narrative Designer, or other position with commensurate duties," that includes teaching, writing, and research—i.e. your Ph.D. in History.
