Does an academic who applies multivariate regression to small, non-random samples (e.g. n=23) and then justifies his conclusions on the basis of p values merit a post-doc at St Edmunds?

Yes. By claiming that p values from a small, non-random sample are meaningful. This should be disqualifying for any job in quantitative social sciences. Let alone his use of arrests as a direct indicator of crime rates...

Are you really saying that such shoddy work is regularly produced or published? That post-Phd researchers are applying MV regression and using p values with such small, non-random samples? That's a pretty shocking indictment of graduate education in the discipline.

Except that's not a replication of the study we're talking about.
