Homicide Mortality in Formerly Incarcerated People Compared to the General Population in North Carolina, 2000 to 2020
Students Under Surveillance
The surveillance and securitization of schools has transformed over the last decade to include predictive analytics and algorithms. In Florida, for example, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office used school record data sets to identify and monitor youth they believed were “destined for a life of crime.” Yet the extent of big data policing as a model of surveillance and control in American public schools has not been addressed in meaningful ways by schools a…
Cognitive Demand Differences in Causal Inferences
Readers may draw knowledge-based inferences to connect sentences in text differently depending on the knowledge domain being accessed. Most prior research has focused on the direction of the causal explanation (predictive vs. backward) without regard to the knowledge domain drawn on to support comprehension. We suggest that less cognitive effort is required for physical cause-and-effect inferences than for inferences drawn from goal-directed or p…
