World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 587-612, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Drug overdose claimed more than 100,000 lives in the United States in 2021. Drug‐induced homicide (DIH) laws create specific criminal liability for individuals who provide drugs that cause or contribute to the death of another person. DIH prosecutions in the United States have increased substantially over the past decade despite the absence of

BEYOND CONVENTIONAL BOUNDARIES
World Affairs, Volume 186, Issue 3, Page 747-775, Fall 2023., 2023 According to conventional wisdom, organized criminal activity is perpetrated primarily by non‐state, private actors who are occasionally [or not] protected by corrupt government officials. From this perspective, a hard distinction is made between those who provide protection to criminals (e.g., politicians or law enforcement officials) and the ...

Translating habitat class to land cover to map area of habitat of terrestrial vertebrates
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) is defined as the “habitat available to a species, that is, habitat within its range” and is calculated by subtracting areas of unsuitable land cover and elevation from the range. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Habitats Classification Scheme provides information on species habitat ...

Using interview surveys and multispecies occupancy models to inform vertebrate conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Species distribution data are an essential biodiversity variable requiring robust monitoring to inform wildlife conservation. Yet, such data remain inherently sparse because of the logistical challenges of monitoring biodiversity across broad geographic extents.

Bridging gaps in demographic analysis with phylogenetic imputation
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 1210-1221, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Phylogenetically informed imputation methods have rarely been applied to estimate missing values in demographic data but may be a powerful tool for reconstructing vital rates of survival, maturation, and fecundity for species of conservation concern.

Matching expert range maps with species distribution model predictions
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1292-1304, October 2020., 2020 Abstract Species’ range maps based on expert opinion are a critical resource for conservation planning. Expert maps are usually accompanied by species descriptions that specify sources of internal range heterogeneity, such as habitat associations, but these are rarely considered when using expert maps for analyses.
