I think most of us are intelligent enough here to pull sources of all sorts off the web, and sort out what is absolute drivel and what might be something we disagree with but is fascinating to discuss, without using ad hominem arguments to dispute every tiny bit of information and opinion sourced from anyone writing anything out of their peer-reviewed area of specialty. It would be quite boring here if we followed your rules!!!

The first thing any scholar does when reading any other scholar (if we don't know him) is to check his credentials. Nothing ad hominem about it. Everybody's got a cv. Actually I'd like to see Hakeem's. Post it? Where'd he get his degrees? I hate to be a snob (though you know I'm elitist) but really, criminology as a field of study is more than a bit intellectually downmarket. There are, of course, historians who treat the subject (see the interesting publications in the Rutgers Crime and Deviance series) but taht's scarcely the same thing.
