Publication day for our long, long awaited article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social on the effects of community policing on police officers' own attitudes about the community!
🧵 Proud to share our new paper in @apsrjournal.bsky.social (open access)!
We used a field experiment to test how contact with citizens shapes POLICE OFFICER attitudes then developed inductive theory about when it works v. backfires.

I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available.
I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments
