This study uses Bayesian simulations to estimate the probability that published criminological research findings are wrong. Toward this end, we employ two equations originally popularized in John P.A. Ioannidis' (in)famous article, "Why Most Published Research Findings False." Values for relevant parameters were determined using recent estimates field's average level of statistical power, bias, factionalization, and quality theory. According our simulations, there is a very high most...

Like other social sciences, criminology is experiencing a theory crisis as part of larger replication crisis. Niemeyer and colleagues (2022) estimate the impact weak criminological on false positive findings using Ioannidis equation find that likely at least 90% are positives. Weak directly contributes to methods-based flexible operationalization poor reproducibility findings. To better quantify problem, we calculate index qualitative variation (IQV) for theoretical constructs in sample...
Criminology has recently begun to grapple with concerns about the replication crisis, but current efforts focus on addressing methodological and analytical along questionable research practices. Causes of however, occur at every link in derivation chain, from theory empirical test interpretation results reporting Psychology—which been wrestling its own crisis since least 2010s—has recognize these early-chain causes thus turned attention towards "theory crisis": finding that most...
Growing concerns about the reproducibility of scientific findings have led to efforts enhance transparency and rigor criminological research. Improving accuracy precision theory development adopting open science practices, such as data, are widely considered effective means achieve these ends. However, current practices primarily target quantitative methodologies tend ignore qualitative methods, like document analysis, due perceived insurmountable obstacles. Since analysis is often crucial...
A vision for the future of space exploration and operation is one in which people live work as members human–multi-agent teams, comprised humans, robots, other artificially intelligent agents. As such, people’s opinions on robotics AI, especially those who will likely be users such systems, should taken into account system requirements, design, implementation. This analyzes interviews conducted with U.S. Space Force (USSF) Guardians to ascertain these opinions. Overall, USSF expressed an...
In the wake of 2016 U.S. presidential election and U.K. Brexit referendum, field misinformation studies has rapidly expanded, leading to increased scholarly activity significant public attention. However, this growth been accompanied by substantial criticisms, particularly regarding need for greater consensus on defining key concepts, inadequate conceptual differentiation, low coherence within field. The ongoing replication crisis in social sciences further underscores urgent clearly defined...
The works of [Cha-DunAlvInoNieCarFieLaw,Cha-Dun] describe upward sweeps in populations city-states and attempt to characterize such phenomenon. model proposed both [TurKor,Tur] describes how the population, state resources internal conflict influence each other over time. We show that one can obtain an sweep population by altering particular parameters system differential equations constituting given [TurKor,Tur]. Moreover, we a has unstable critical point propose approach for determining...
