Dutch psychology fraudster avoids trial
Disgraced Dutch social psychologist Diederik Stapel, who in 2011 was found to have fabricated data in at least 30 published papers, will not face trial for misuse of public research funds. Instead, in a pre-trial settlement, Stapel has agreed to 120 hours community service, according to a statement (in Dutch) from the Netherlands’ public prosecutor’s office.
