I think they also started the scandal around Trent Lott at Strom Thurmond's birthday party.

John Lott found that the more minorities on a police force, the higher the rates of murder, manslaughter, violent crime, robbery and aggravated assault will be.

The closest thing I've seen would be a handful of academics dismissing the work of John Lott out-of-hand without giving a specific reason for doing so.

I know John Lott claims he researched all of them.

See S Lott (or Alex Martelli) and Jon Skeet for instance; There are many, many good programmers in Python tags giving many good answers; but to be only at +2 and an accepted.

It took me 4 days to code and design it and there is still a lott of features missing but I think it's basic features are good enough to enjoy it.

I'm not a Lott fan, and many critiques of the man himself are valid (especially the sock-puppeting fiasco), but the most damning critique of his work I've seen is the NAS study which agreed with his conclusions, but found some of them to be statistically irrelevant.

What is the problem?" asked Lott, a former majority leader.

Senator Trent Lott: "What are people worried about?

Lott has also said "[A] nation's wealth [is maximized] if a crime is not deterred when the benefit to the criminal of a particular crime is greater than the total social cost of that crime." - a very Chicago School view of the world.

"Lott examines the effects of the Brady law." "The third edition of the book is the first study to examine Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws." "Lott spends some time discussing gun ownership rates and crime rates in other countries, such as the United Kingdom." What an informative and illustrative article explaining the other side.
