25 years of European Sourcebook in a nutshell It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. A picture is like a single datum. It gives you the information at one point. 3
You can not read a datum without a system of reference. Shall we distinghuish between genuine and ambigous smile? FINDINGS Humans recognize happy and non happy faces faster than blended expressions. It takes longer to interpret ambiguity. The brain can quickly distinguish a genuine smile from a non-genuine smile in a face with angry eyes, but takes much longer and is much less accurate in the presence of fearful or neutral eyes. This would imply that, in whereas they would be much Negativity bias à tendency not only to register social contexts, people could lower to tell apart (and more negative stimuli more readily but also to dwell on easily detect a sarcastic or a inclined to accept as genuine) a dominance smile, (…) nervous and a polite smile. these events (e.g. Astrazeneca case). Calvo, M. G., Marrero, H., & Beltrán, D. (2013). When does the brain distinguish between 4 genuine and ambiguous smiles? An ERP study. Brain and cognition, 81(2), 237-246.
The origin of European Sourcebook • Preliminary study 1993-1996 with Council of Europe • The European Sourcebook project started in 1996. In that year the Council of Europe established a committee to prepare a compendium of crime and criminal justice data for its member states. • Information was collected from 36 European countries covering the period 1990 to 1996 • The first step was to create a system of reference: the section General definition • But this system of reference was also based on (implicit) principles 5
The principles behind the best possible “movie” on the European Criminal Justice Systems RESILIENCY Data that should be collected on regularly basis VALIDITY Data that should be produced by national institutions OPENNESS Data that should come as many as European countries possible INCLUSIVITY Data that should cover different dimensions of criminal justice systems (police, prosecution, conviction, prison, probation) and, when possible, to include national victimization survey CONSISTENCY AND Data will be checked according a standard and public system of COMPARABILITY reference QUALITY Repetition of the exercise will elicit data quality over time INTERSUBJECTIVITY Data will be reviewed by experts 6
It’s just a data collection exercise? No, like a movie, it is not just a random collection of pictures 7
The European Sourcebook Cake WHAT IS THE ADDED VALUE OF THE ESB? Layer 3 – Expert group Layer 2 – National Correspondents Layer 1 – Data from national institutions 8
The “infrastructures” built on the data exercise • Competence infrastructure (becoming experts) • Relational infrastructure (becoming a community) • Knowledge infrastructure (becoming part of a collective process that generates knowledge) 9
Competence infrastructure (becoming experts) • Becoming an expert is mainly a matter of time (you need perseverance in what you do, not only passion) • Including new experts in the ESB is not always easy (they are already busy since they are already recognized as experts) Ericsson, K. A., Krampe, R. T., & Tesch-Römer, C. (1993). The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance. Psychological review, 100(3), 363. 10
Relational infrastructure European Sourcebook Conference (Strasbourg, April, 2018) 11
When you take part to the ESB community • You choose to join the community, you are part of a team and you accept the values of the community that are those of science (democracy, transparency, openness) • You are acknowledged for what you do for the community and you are accountable for the job you have done (mistakes are possible, we can make amendments!) • You are aware that your work may be valuable for other communities (academic, policy-makers) that may be beneficial for the job you have done • You are contributing to situating national data in a broader context, detecting common or divergent trends and learning from other experiences • You are establishing further connections that may be helpful for in the future 12

What should be done to further increase the European Sourcebook Value ? Engagement «The New York Times also makes a practice of running what are called A/B tests on the digital headlines that appear on its homepage: Half of readers will see one headline, and the other half will see an alternative headline, for about half an hour. At the end of the test, The Times will use the headline that attracted more readers». https://blog.tjcx.me/p/new-york-times-ab-testing 14
