Call it the theory of "tightness-looseness": The researchers show, through analysis of anything from numbers of police per capita to the availability of booze, that some US states are far more "tight"—meaning that they "have many strongly enforced rules and little tolerance for deviance." Others, meanwhile, are more "loose," meaning that they "have few strongly enforced rules and greater tolerance for deviance."

The Mother Jones back-assward definition of "tight" apparently means LESS LIMITATIONS ON FREEDOM and FEWER RESTRICTIVE LAWS ON THE BOOKS.
