It was a real privilege to deliver the Jerry Lee lecture at the Stockholm Criminology Symposium in 2023. My thanks to Jerry Lee, Larry Sherman and Peter Neyroud for considering me, and my congratulations to the Stockholm prize winner this year, Professor Beatriz Magaloni. You can watch below, or follow this link.
During the presentation I mentioned various research studies and videos to illuminate my points. This short blog provides links in case you want more information.
The knife fight video shown in the presentation is from a documentary on the Kensington Transit Corridor Opioid Study, available on YouTube here. I also have a journal article with Hayley Wight (with more on the way) titled Policing the largest drug market on the eastern seaboard: officer perspectives on enforcement and community safety.
The video with the SAVE officers in the Philadelphia subway is current work. Follow me on Twitter for updates.
