‘A second chance at life’: broadening views of success in drug courts
A focus on recidivism in drug court evaluation can lead to the presumption that if a program does not significantly reduce recidivism, there is no reason for it to continue. However, this view obsc...

Super happy to finally have this paper out w/ Lorana Bartels & Meredith Rossner - we consider drug court benefits beyond recidivism, arguing that a program should not have to demonstrate *substantially* better outcomes than prison to be preferable to incarceration www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Just had an important acceptance email after 1.75 years of data wrangling, drafting, desk rejects, major revisions and everything in between. I won't say persistence is always worth it but it's a good feeling when persistence finally gets you somewhere! 🥲

I show that while there is only one question on the form that a person might answer differently in-person as opposed to online (and without assistance), it is a very important one, and one which is important in determining the level of support they receive from the state.

My newest paper in the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law asks a simple question - how is administrative work shifting as we move towards technology-generated interactions, where there is no one around to help us through administrative processes?
