The prospect of rehabilitation could minimize harms by improving reporting of misconduct, rebuilding damaged trust, and providing more insight into the conditions that led to unethical behavior, allowing scientists to work collectively to create con...

Researchers have not yet devoted sufficient attention to the effect of prison architecture on inmate misconduct.

The results from multilevel statistical analyses suggest that architectural design...

Abstract In the past two decades, individual explanations of scientific misconduct (‘bad apples’) have increasingly given way to systemic systems’). Where did this interest in factors (publication pressure, competition for research funding) come from? Given that ethicists often present their interventions as responses misconduct, article tests hypothesis these were triggered by high-visibility ...

I evaluate the economic consequences of advisory misconduct by estimating the effect of publicly disclosed regulatory actions of mutual fund advisors on fund flows. Based on misconduct events from 2000-2013, I find a 5% reduction in fund flows to malfeasant advisors in one year following the misconduct. Further analysis using the 2001 SEC electronic filing mandate as a positive shock to miscond...
