Our snazzy new book! \u00a0Published by W.W. Norton & Co.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The TSP offices were buzzing with excitement this week, as our second book project\u2014Crime and the Punished\u2014<\/i>finally arrived! This engaging (and dare I say adorably pocket-sized) volume provides some much-needed sociological insight on crime and punishment in a critical and expansive way.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all that has us excited (and potentially over-using exclamation points) this week. Check out some highlights below!<\/p>\n

Editors\u2019 Desk:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s Research on That!<\/a>\u201d by Chris Uggen, unveiled the newest TSP initiative (drum roll, please), There\u2019s Research on That! Navigating the world of research is hard, and that\u2019s assuming reporters have the funds to get past pay walls. There\u2019s Research on That! hopes to overcome some of these issues by providing short summaries of social scientific studies that shed light on current events.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s Research on That!:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cNew Pope\u2019s Politics<\/a>,\u201d by Evan Stuart, suggests a number of articles about shifting views on religion, as well as other shifts within the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

\u201cLoosen the Leash on Lenders?<\/a>\u201d by Evan Stuart, highlights sociologists who weighed in on what led to the 2008 housing crash.<\/p>\n

Citings & Sightings:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The two newest additions to TSP\u2019s team, undergrad interns Molly Goin and Kat Albrecht, summarized recent citings of social scientists in the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou Want Fries with That<\/a>,\u201d by Molly Goin, weaves together research that discusses both the decline in American unions and a potential shift in this trend, marked by the recent walk-outs by fast-food workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnique Families, Not So Unique<\/a>,\u201d by Kat Albrecht, considers differences in the living arrangements of American youth.<\/p>\n

And Last But Not Least, A Few From Our Community Pages:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sociological Images<\/em>:\u00a0Lisa Wade on \u201cWho is An American: Racist Twits and the Rest of Us<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyborgology<\/em>:\u00a0PJ Rey on \u201cRape Culture, Content, and \u2018Grabbing 100+ Boobs at Burning Man 2013<\/a>\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Girl w\/Pen<\/em>:\u00a0Adina Nack on \u201cWhat Can Testicles Tell Us About Dads?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

Sociology Lens<\/em>:\u00a0B. Schaefer on \u201cClassification and the NSA: The Power of Silence<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

Thick Culture<\/em>: Andrew Lindner on\u00a0\u201cWhy It’s Called ‘Obamacare<\/a>‘\u201d<\/p>\n
