So cool! Great primer on civic research.
Data + community! Data is for people, of people. And community can use data as a tool. Thanks to @TWPublicHealth for the opportunity to talk about research, data, community, and the work @DanOUrban + I do at the @BARIboston + @NU_PolicySchool!
Hot off the press at @HDSR! Column w/@kdlucas04 about @BARIboston's annual conference, a model for fostering civic research communities worldwide. So much more to do in new places and ways.

Conceptual story: Crime is explained by the management of commercial establishments AND context. And demographics still matter, too, as crime is higher in high-poverty communities, controlling for the effects of managers.
New paper led by @Riley_NEU in J Quant Crim (@SpringerCrim)
e.g.: Rstrnts with lower Yelp ratings --> more crime BUT less when there are other rstrnts on the street. They benefit from well-managed nbrs. link.springer.com/article/10…
