I got to this thread by way of a link to Upworthy via my Facebook feed. I was excited by the research, but Upworthy posts in general make me a bit pouty-faced as do Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the mere mention of of “evidenced-based” anything. Something in me rebels against reason. Which is not to say that I’m not a fan, only that I am somewhat reluctantly.I recomend either following Blattman’s Twitter thread or the Upworthy post especially if the notion of more money for police and prison make you wonder it there aren’t more reasonalbe responces to crime and violence. Here’s a link to the paper.Blattman has written a new book, Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Paths to Peace.At that link is a YouTube discussion with with New York Times economics reporter Eduardo Porter. Porter’s most recent book is American Poison: How Racial Hostility Destroyed Our Promise. I work and so don’t really follow the news so carefully, still the Ukraine war and all the agitation for Civil War in the USA has had me on edge. Their conversation povided some helpufl ways to view these conflicts. -- source link
