A top Florida State University professor whose research focused on race in the criminal justice system abruptly left his post in the wake of years-long allegations of academic fraud.
A Fellow of the American Society of Criminology, Eric Stewart has had six research studies retracted, blemishing FSU’s top-ranked criminology department. Stewart was first accused of falsifying data in 2019 by Professor Justin Pickett of the University of Albany, who co-authored a 2011 study with Stewart.
The study tested if the public’s prejudicial views impacted their desire for harsher sentences for black and hispanic Americans. The published findings were that as black and hispanic populations grew, so did the public’s want for more discriminatory sentences. Except – Pickett discovered – this was not the case.

The esteemed scholar in question.
When racists find that certain people they want to declare racist, are not, they just go ahead do the racism others aren’t doing.
Color me shocked.

Fraudulent publications in academic journals are at a flood. Science, medicine, pseudo fields like criminology, it doesn’t matter. Where publications are the coin of the realm, the universities are teeming with counterfeiters.
Awwwz now! Don’t you involve Remus in this!!!
He was a lovely and noble man!
And then the crooks in the scum media dutifully report the fake data they like as it were the gospel.
Just a look-a-like.
Worth repeating.
Academic studies mean nothing anymore.
Worthless as the paper they’re printed on.
True, but those same lousy papers are used as justification for lousy policy.
A major shortage of organic racism has created, through market demand, the invention of synthetic racism. Though not as durable and aesthetically pleasing as real racism, the synthetic variety has proven to be functionally adequate and passes for the real thing to the undiscerning eye. It’s also known in its generic form as Smollet racism.
I don’t think the Criminology Professor is having such a Wonderful Day. But mine just improved a bit. :-)
In the Good Ole Days, all the Criminoles in Tally had football scholarships.
So, rather than defend his years of “research” he just conceded that he is a lying POS and a leftwing political hack?
Zippidy-doo-done.
Academic studies mean nothing anymore.
Worthless as the paper they’re printed on.

Don’t get me started about cooked data and commie progs and the spotted owl survey I was on.
Always audit any data a prog produces including elections.
Especially elections.
Spit.
Fo’shizzle ma’nizzle ...data be hard, yo.
An’ when a low-down scalliwaggin’ critter be brought to justice,
...life is mighty SATISFACT’AL!
I explained to a niece recently that the oppressed wished to end oppression, until they were in position to oppress. rinse and repeat.
