On the effects of closing down police stations: "the reduced local police presence led to a persistent significant increase in violent crimes, consistent with lower deterrence"

The Masculinity Gap

"Noah Carl is a British independent researcher with a doctorate in sociology from Oxford University. In the post below, he marshals evidence showing that the political right is more masculine than the left, and that the gap has widened significantly in recent years"

No raw data, no science: another possible source of the reproducibility crisis

An editor asked 41 teams to provide data because their manuscripts looked too clean.
HALF of the teams withdrew their papers. 1 out of 41 teams provided full data. https://molecularbrain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13041-020-0552-2

Psychosocial Well-Being in Children of Same-Sex Parents: A Longitudinal Analysis of Familial Transitions

Using longitudinal samples with random samples, Potter and Potter (2017) found that 57% of heterosexual parents were still together from the time their kid was in kindergarten to 5th grade. For same sex parents it was 31%, a 26% difference.

if Kyle Rittenhouse was black, he would still not have been found guilty. A meta-analysis shows that white jurors had no bias against black defendants, but blacks had a pro-black or anti-white bias.

In general people find a lot of meaning in family and children, but women do so to an even greater extent than men.

Meta-analyses are better than your average single study, but the effect sizes they produce are still roughly 3 times larger than those produced by well powered pre-registered studies

Comparing meta-analyses and preregistered multiple-laboratory replication projects. So yea, they are still pretty problematic and often not great evidence.

Sariaslan et al. (2018)

This study looked at a total of 526, 167 people in Sweden who were born between 1989-1993. Unsurprisingly, children of parents of the lowest income percentile were more likely to be convicted of a violent crime when compared to those born in a high-income percentile. However, the OR went below 1 after family variables were adjusted for. Showing poverty to have no causal correlation with crime.

Does reality have a left-wing bias?

Interesting article about rapes done by allied soldiers during ww2
"Of the mere 152 men who were tried for rape, 139 of the defendants were ‘coloured’"
