PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING IN AUTOCRACIES: Conflicting Logics, Unintended Consequences and Contentious Participation in Angola's Orçamento Participativo

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Participatory institutions are no longer confined to liberal democracies as autocrats around the world experiment with ‘authoritarian participation’. This also applies to the most successful democratic innovation of recent decades: participatory budgeting (PB).

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...

Market Integration and Nonlinear Price Transmission in 19th‐Century British Wheat Markets

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Important developments in infrastructure and institutions characterized 19th‐Century wheat markets in Great Britain. Among these developments was the construction of the national rail system which enabled cheaper and more efficient transport of grain and other bulky cargoes between inland towns and ports.

Suicides disguised as homicides through weapon concealment: A two‐way copycat phenomenon between fiction and real world

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Suicides disguised as homicides present a persistent challenge in forensic case analysis, particularly when the weapon is deliberately removed after discharge. This study investigates the evolution of weapon concealment techniques—specifically the “load‐and‐rope” and “helium balloon‐tied gun” methods—across documented casework, forensic ...

Region‐of‐interest geometry optimization for shooting‐distance estimation from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of gunshot residue on textile targets

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐target distance regression from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of GSR‐related thermal patterns.
