Quick Hits

If you want some thought provoked, drop by these blogs today and get pummeled: Pam Clifton at Think Outside the Cage has good stuff up on law enforcement’s salutary role in offender reentry if they’ll take it on and on the damage to incarcerated parents when their kids go through a corrupt foster care system; CrimProf Blog has a statistically rich and depressing post up on OH’s problems with DNA evidence care and efforts by the gov there to upgrade their system; All in the Mind lets us know that Australia is having the same problem with political interference with science and evidence-based research that we find in our country; and Psychology and Crime News has a post linking you to two good stories once again calling into question the entire enterprise of eyewitness testimony, either through the witness’ inability to deal errors or through their susceptibility to peer influence.
