Een boete én een brief van de politie: voorkomt dat opnieuw telefoongebruik achter het stuur? Een RCT onder 868 beboete bestuurders vond geen meetbaar effect - ook niet op andere verkeersovertredingen. Goede bedoelingen zijn nog geen bewezen aanpak. #evidencebasedpolicing doi.org/10.1080/1561...

🌀 🚨 Terrorist attacks rarely increase trust in political leaders 🧠 Christof Nägel, @nivette.bsky.social & @christian.czymara.com show that, contrary to common assumptions, terrorist attacks don’t generally boost public trust in political leaders.
