I reached a satisfying milestone today: 1 million reads of my 24 career-to-date articles published in @theconversation.com. I genuinely enjoy translating research for public benefit through these pieces and look forward to hopefully continuing to do so for many years into the future.

En España, se emplean dos herramientas que usan algoritmos para predecir el riesgo de que un reo vuelva a delinquir: RisCanvi y TVR. 

Algoritmos que ponen en juego las posibilidades de salir o no de prisión

En España, se emplean dos herramientas que usan algoritmos para predecir el riesgo de que un reo vuelva a delinquir: RisCanvi y TVR.

Recent generations may have taken safety for granted, but today’s youth are growing up in an era of compounded crises – and being safe is their priority.
