crim-literature-positioning — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited crim-literature-positioning (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A common reason criminology papers stall is that they read as "another dataset" rather than a move in a theoretical debate. Positioning is therefore not throat-clearing — it places the paper where a general criminology audience can see the open question and your move on it.
e.g., is desistance driven by cognitive change or social bonds? do hot-spot effects displace or diffuse? does procedural justice cause compliance? Cite the works that define it.

| If your paper is… | also engage… |
|---|---|
| a developmental/life-course study | the criminal-career and desistance debates, not just psychology |
| a neighborhoods-and-crime study | social disorganization / collective-efficacy theory and spatial work |
| an experiment on policing or courts | deterrence and procedural-justice/legitimacy theory |
| a measurement contribution | the substantive theories that will use the measure |
crim-submission)Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the crime/justice process, measurement validity, research design, and policy consequence; then judge whether the current manuscript answers the venue's real reader: criminology reviewers who expect theory-linked crime, justice, or harm mechanisms plus transparent measurement.
