NEW: A new @hrcberkeley investigation found that in Mexico during President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's administration (December 2018 to September 2024), 337 journalists and human rights defenders were killed—a number much higher than previously reported.

Happy to share my new article with Megan Erickson on the killing of government officials by criminal organizations, published @JPR_journal. We examine how changes in Mexico’s criminal landscape have shaped violence against politicians.

🚨 Our paper on drug violence and Central American emigration was accepted in JDE!
Drug violence raises intentions and preparations to emigrate to the US. Evidence suggests this operates through worsening local economies, not insecurity alone.

Happy to share my new article “The Public Security Issue Area” out in @PRQJournal. Is public security a unidimensional issue? Is it really captured by the left-right spectrum? I argue mostly no to both of these questions. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Findings demonstrate that 1) these policy categories are not fundamentally mutually exclusive, and 2) while ideology does help us understand who proposes certain public security portfolios, there is substantial ideological intra-group heterogeneity.

I asked a (brilliant female) colleague about the apparent gender gap in AI uptake in our field and she suggested that it was driven by women being more likely to be judged as incompetent if they use AI. This resume study suggests, sadly, that she may be correct.

With Brazil’s 2026 elections just over three months away, I wrote for @revistapiaui about how candidates campaign in criminally governed areas.
In 2024, I surveyed 311 candidates for Rio’s city council to learn how they navigate these territories.
