Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

Accommodating Complex Substitution Patterns in a Random Utility Model of Recreational Fishing

open access: yes
We employed a cross-nested logit (CNL) model that permits a rich pattern of substitution among alternatives within a closed form choice model. The specification we employed is ideal for applications with many choice alternatives, such as the 431 fishing ...

Bound by blood and bloodshed: Sibling ties and participation in genocidal violence

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Focusing on the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, we examine how sibling relationships—one of the most salient familial bonds—influence individual engagement in violence during mass atrocity. Drawing on an adaptation of differential association and social learning theories for contexts of mass atrocity, we analyze a novel dataset linking over 300,000 ...

Effect Displays in R for Multinomial and Proportional-Odds Logit Models: Extensions to the effects Package

open access: yes
Based on recent work by Fox and Andersen (2006), this paper describes substantial extensions to the effects package for R to construct effect displays for multinomial and proportional-odds logit models.

Statistical analyses of ecological multinomial time series to identify environmental drivers and biotic interactions

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the drivers of change in communities is a major goal of paleoecology and community ecology, but statistical inference from multivariate time series is challenged by relative (rather than absolute) abundance data, observation uncertainty and missing data due to uneven sampling through time.

Optimal deep learning activity recognition pipeline using animal bio‐logging data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal activity recognition using supervised machine learning on bio‐logging data has revolutionized behavioural studies on wildlife and livestock over the past decade. These studies' analytic pipelines differ substantially though, being based on various sensors, features, algorithms and hyperparameter values, which has caused suboptimal or ...

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Motivational ecologies in AI‐supported classrooms: Teachers and ChatGPT as dual agents

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT are increasingly integrated into classroom practice, yet their motivational–emotional implications remain insufficiently understood. Situated expectancy–value theory (SEVT) conceptualizes motivation and emotion as embedded in contextual affordances, raising the ...

When machines join the moral circle: The persona effect of generative AI agents in collaborative reasoning

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generative AI is increasingly positioned as a peer in collaborative learning, yet its effects on ethical deliberation remain unclear. We report a between‐subjects experiment with university students (N = 217) who discussed an autonomous‐vehicle dilemma in triads under three conditions: human‐only control, supportive AI teammate or contrarian ...
