And for that matter, as Weaver et al note, the types of state interaction that we as political scientists even think of researching.

This has me thinking about Mettler’s The Submerged State, @emilythorson.bsky.social’s The Invented State, and whether people even think they are participating in politics or interfacing with govt. Also work by Weaver & others about the forms of govt different people interact with (e.g., police).

Reminds me of the early days of COVID when Black people were being arrested and accosted for both wearing masks and for not following social distance guidelines, even though others were engaged in the same behavior.

It was super important for me, since I was the first PhD in my family and my grandparents literally weren’t allowed to go to college. Got it in April 2020 and didn’t wear it til walking two years later. As for price, capgown.com has premium sets for under $500. Worth it to me.

the removal of Confederate symbols decreased racial resentment, increased support for affirmative action and warm feelings toward Blacks, and decreased anti-Black hate crimes.

Is this the university indoctrination that right-wingers have been railing against?

We did this study of changing representation of Middle Easterners in fictional broadcast TV programming, finding them virtually absent pre-9/11 and more present—half the time as terrorists—after 9/11. But again, can't separate attitude effects of the media representation from 9/11 as an event.

This article, which is on my class syllabus, likewise makes the argument that changes in racial misrepresentation re: crime between pre- vs. post-9/11 periods are factors both of 9/11 as an event and of changing media tech.

Could be part of it. Also the proliferation of cable news. CNN had been around for 20 years by 9/11, but MSNBC and Fox News were only like five years old. They all exploded post-9/11, so the media angle (which I'm drawn to due to my line of work) is entangled with the real-world events angle.

Not once. I don't have a single positive—or even neutral— memory of using Real Player. Shit was always buggy.

Thank you for this. I teach a course on media and crime, and we start off by talking about how people think crime is increasing when it’s not. This shows that that perception-reality gap wasn’t always necessarily there…but yeah, no clear answer on why. Might be too into the weeds for my class tho.

I have a new post up, on why I think an infamous Gallup poll, regularly cited as evidence that Americans are deeply ignorant about crime trends, is actually a great way to understand how the politics of crime are really the politics of broader anxiety.

Obviously this defamation case is ridiculous, but it would be the funniest shit ever if it went to discovery and they uncovered even more evidence of fraud.

Yeah, this is one of those times when we intuited that water is wet, but it's nice to see a study of just how wet it is.
