Another view of this morning’s sunrise.
Friday, 10 October, Makorori Headlands, Aotearoa / New Zealand.

In our latest clip, we have the privilege of featuring Prof. Ray Pawson @sspatleeds.bsky.social presenting “The Rise and Fall and Rise of Evaluation Research.”
A must-watch for anyone interested in #RealistMethods and #PolicyEvaluation more broadly.

OK now you're just showing off 😆 but seriously, it's those many years of collaborating that got you to this stage of it being 'quick and smooth'.

Impressive! I don't envy how long and how much effort that must have been to set up, but it should be a great return on investment.

I just submitted a peer review that I was extremely tempted to write in confidential comments to the editor "more unsubstantiated claims than the US president". It beggars belief.

Excellent tool for NZ'ers (and also, anyone from anywhere in the world). Created by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). Highly recommend those in politics, public life, activism, journalism, media, and academia use this tool to determine risk of PII exposure. www.howexposedami.co.nz

Amazing. I never knew this and I got my UG from a uni famed for its illegal raves in the woods.

YouTube video by NSW BOCSAR The contacting of adolescents on social media by suspicious accounts

WATCH @richard100.bsky.social at the 2025 Applied Research in Crime and Justice Conference in Sydney earlier this year presenting research on suspicious accounts contacting adolescents via social media networks 🎥 youtu.be/7GDER16M9Ps?...

I'll see you there :) I've only been to one (last yr in Christchurch) and enjoyed it but I hear it is variable based on the host institution's priorities. Brisbane is a great city to sightsee in but will be s-t-i-c-k-y in Dec 🥵

I’m still looking for someone to do an evidence assessment on violence prevention initiatives for @EvidenceBaseJnl Would love something on the evidence base for violence interrupters, among others.

Immigration and crime around the globe: key findings across a diverse range of contexts · CrimRxiv This chapter reviews the ever-growing body of empirical research on the immigration-crime link around the globe, focusing on studies across a diverse range of contexts: the United States, Canada, Australia,...

We've built registered reports into @evidencebasejnl.bsky.social to try and help with that 🤓

I don't disagree but how would that work in practice when the findings are in the abstract (or should be)?

Sim City, that takes me back! Used to love that game!

Would it even be a conference if the panel most suited to your research interests didn't clash with your own session?!

So glad you got to see their work, that team are doing mission critical things.

Fantastic, congratulations @oliveiratr.bsky.social !! 👏

Was the last photo Tiggey May?!

Surely its what gets stolen by criminologists?

Good conference this year? 😆

The Cochrane library is a global source of independent health evidence for everyone – why is NZ restricting access? New Zealanders download Cochrane Library health reviews daily. Restricting access is a step back to when medical knowledge was held tightly by professionals.

Another way government austerity is failing healthcare and the NZ people. Underfunded Te Whatu Ora / Health NZ is cutting access to the Cochrane Library, a gold standard source of information to support health decision-making. NZers use it 246 times per day. #nzpol

A while ago when there was discussion of other countries seeing major long term age/gender divisions & I looked at the NZES 2002 to 2020. I'm now adding in 2023, and while there is fluctuations, they are within the range of the last decade, which is very different (and less dramatic) to the US/UK...
