According to Google Scholar, Stewart and his work were cited over 8,500 times by other researchers.
Retraction Watch obtained the termination letter from the university, which said that due to Stewart’s conduct “decades of research” previously thought “to be at the forefront” of the field of criminology has “been shown to contain numerous erroneous and false narratives.”
The damage this guy did is immeasurable. I wonder how long Retraction Watch has before the ADL gets them banned off of everything.
It’s no big deal. Just like when Rolling Stone was found to be full of shit with their infamous campus rape story. It’s an easy pivot to “yes, but my lie reflects a greater truth.” As long as it “starts a conversation” it doesn’t matter they’ve no proof the thing they’re discussing is real. After all, if you’d dare deny systemic racism exists then they can dismiss you as speaking from a place of ignorant privilege.
