Criminology Skills
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at Criminology — the flagship, interdisciplinary journal of the American Society of Criminology (ASC), published by Wiley and submitted through the Wiley Research Exchange portal under a blinded (anonymized) peer-review model. Criminology publishes the best work on the etiology of crime and deviance, criminological theory, criminal-career and life-course
Skills in this plugin
12- ▌ Crim Rebuttal · brycewang-stanfordUse when writing the response to a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) revise-and-resubmit. Criminology revisions usually require converting multiple expert reviewers across the field's disciplines while keeping the editor confident the revision is convergent and the theoretical contribution intact. Structures the response letter; it does not fabricate new results.
- ▌ Crim Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse as the entry point for any Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript. Routes to the right crim sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the paper is a full Article or a Research Note. Criminology is theory-forward and interdisciplinary, so the router first checks that the paper makes a criminological contribution, not just reports a crime correlation. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Crim Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for Criminology (ASC / Wiley) via the official online submission link — anonymized main document plus separate title page, APA-based formatting, bias-free language, double-anonymized review, single-submission commitment, Wiley ACT ORCID/OA/preprint fields, and live length/abstract caps. Final checks; it does not draft content.
- ▌ Crim Data Analysis · brycewang-stanfordUse when executing and reporting the analysis for a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript so it survives expert review — honest uncertainty, robustness, and methods appropriate to crime counts, longitudinal panels, trajectory models, and recidivism survival. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.
- ▌ Crim Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when drafting or polishing a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript so it reads for an interdisciplinary criminology audience, follows the journal's APA-based style, and uses bias-free, person-first language for justice-involved populations. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
- ▌ Crim Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse to understand how Criminology (ASC / Wiley) evaluates a manuscript — blinded/anonymized peer review, editorial screening, the typical reject / major-revision / minor-revision / accept outcomes, and what expert reviewers weigh in this interdisciplinary, theory-forward field. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
- ▌ Crim Tables Figures · brycewang-stanfordUse when building tables and figures for a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript so exhibits are self-contained, accessible, and communicate crime patterns clearly — age-crime curves, trajectory-group plots, recidivism survival curves, hot-spot maps, and effect plots. Designs exhibits; it does not run the analysis.
- ▌ Crim Research Design · brycewang-stanfordUse when defending the research design of a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript — causal identification for quantitative work, longitudinal and life-course designs, criminal-career and trajectory methods, place-based and experimental designs, or case selection and process tracing for qualitative work. Criminology judges each tradition on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
- ▌ Crim Theory Building · brycewang-stanfordUse when building the theoretical argument of a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript into a field-level contribution. Criminology rewards an explicit mechanism, scope conditions, and observable implications over a bare crime correlation, whether the work tests, extends, or adjudicates a criminological theory. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
- ▌ Crim Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a project fits Criminology (ASC / Wiley) and whether to target a full Article or a Research Note. Criminology is the discipline's interdisciplinary flagship, so the test is a general criminological contribution about the etiology, patterning, or control of crime — not a dataset-specific correlation. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.
- ▌ Crim Data And Transparency · brycewang-stanfordUse when preparing the data, replication, and transparency materials for a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript — data-availability statements, reproducibility packages, preregistration, and handling restricted criminal-justice data under DUAs. Criminology operates under growing open-science norms (Wiley open-science badges, ICPSR/NACJD archiving). Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.
- ▌ Crim Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning a Criminology (ASC / Wiley) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to the field's live debates, not a citation pile. Criminology readers expect engagement with the relevant theoretical tradition and the closest prior empirical work across the field's many disciplines. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.
