The quality of the data wasn't the sort that would hold up well to scholarly
criticism (but then again, Irving Kristol never let the lack of good
evidence
get in the way of a neo-con ideological statement), and I doubt that many
criminologists take Centerwall seriously. The link with his bit on VN,
aside
from a willingness to publish conclusions based on flimsy evidence, seems to
be
a certain conventional moralism, a Michael-Medvedlike tendency to wring
hands
over the threats to our moral and physical security lurking in popular
culture.

Dear Jay,

Spoken like a liberal.
