I mean maybe it’s good. Sort of like how imprisoning bad apples is good for the siblings. Kids becoming child soldiers might have positive effects on the rest of the family.
There’s a theory that the war on terror reduced crime by soaking up a ton of potential criminals into the armed forces.What remotely makes you think the effect would be anything other than “bad”. Do we really need a study and to grant tenure to a nerd to know this
Why is this research even remotely ethical to conduct? I would be ashamed to be the author of such a study.cos he didn't literally go out in the bush with children armed with guns. I'm not taking a stand on the Imbens versus Card elevator issue, but I'd be proud to have investigated something as important as the long term impacts of being a child soldier.
Good answer to a ridiculous question. Anyone who has such a knee-jerk reaction to any question does not belong in academia
