| UCI Experts On: Baseball statistics |
|
|
| With the World Series underway, MVP talks are already in play. But will the final pick actually be the most valuable player? UCI economist and Little League coach Mike McBride has found that half the time over the last 30 years the title has gone to the wrong player when accounting for who mattered most in delivering the team's win. In our most recent Experts On episode, McBride breaks down baseball and a new metric that puts team contributions, rather than individual skill, at the forefront of player valuation. |

"Given the importance of future orientation to subsequent contact with the criminal justice system for future health and generalized life success, actions should be taken to mitigate any negative consequences of police contact on the future orientation of adolescents," says Kristin Turney, professor of sociology at UCI and a coauthor of a new study on how adolescents' experiences with police have harmful repercussions for later life outcomes.

| We are not your standard school. Like Peter, our beloved Anteater mascot, we're quirky and different. We're on a mission to create positive change in society, economies and human well-being by breaking down traditional barriers and pushing the limits in teaching, research and service. Doing so requires a different attitude, aim and set of actions.
