Huge congrats!!! 🎉👏 This is a massively innovative piece - both theoretically and empirically advanced. A must read! 👍
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.

Here’s an interesting finding about the process of sentence inflation experienced in E&W over the last couple of decades: for some offence groups, this process appears to be reflecting nothing more than attrition in the criminal justice system - i.e., only the most serious crimes make it to court.
