Ep. 5 – How do we know what works?, in which we discussed
Jennifer Doleac’s work previously.
Jennifer Doleac’s thread on Twitter
Working on criminal justice topics gives me a very different
perspective on the Kochs than my equally-liberal friends &
family have. Charles Koch Foundation & Charles Kock Institute
are perhaps the most important funders of research related to
criminal justice policy & reform.
They also frequently host conferences that bring top-notch
researchers and practitioners together in one room — a chance to
meet everyone else who’s working in this space. In other words,
they throw great parties — sounds trivial but this is super
important & helpful!
Charles Koch Foundation has funded my own work related to
prisoner reentry and I am deeply grateful for that as well as
their broader support of my research. My contacts there &
Charles Kock Institute are the first I call if I’m looking for
practioner contacts. They know everyone!
As funders they are extremely hands-off — to a degree that is
almost funny. I think they know people are watching them closely
for missteps so are super careful. But most funders in this space
have strong opinions abt what you should study & what you
should find. They don’t.
Koch Industries for a long time was a major proponent of Ban the
Box policies. When my research on BTB (which they did not fund)
came out, showing detrimental effects, they were eager to hear
about it & engage w the results. I really appreciated that.
To my fellow liberals that love to hate the Koch brothers, I
simply say: the story is more complicated (as always, right?).
Charles Koch in particular is enabling & supporting
evidence-based CJ reform in red & blue states alike, and that
is something we should all appreciate.

Example of Correlation-Causation Escalation
Periodontal Disease Bacteria Linked To Alzheimer’s Disease
(American Academy of Periodontology)
The study, published in the journal Science Advances, uncovered a
potential link between P. gingivalis, the
bacteria associated with periodontal disease (commonly known as
gum disease) and Alzheimer’s.
Porphyromonas gingivalis in Alzheimer’s disease brains:
Evidence for disease causation and treatment with small-molecule
inhibitors (Science Advances)
Infectious agents have been found in the brain and postulated to
be involved with AD, but robust evidence of causation has
not been established.
