The Impact of Gender on Social Support For Criminal Justice Careers
This qualitative study investigates how social support impacts students’ decisions about majoring in criminal justice and/or pursuing careers in the field. Thirty students were interviewed regarding their perspectives and sources of social support. Six primary themes emerged from interviews: support for higher education, hesitant support for criminal justice, parental support, support from friends/associates, perceptions of public support, and gender and social support. While students who pursue criminal justice careers do not perceive full support for their aspirations, support can vary by gender, with women encountering additional barriers to support. Still, students are undeterred from the field of criminal justice and remain hopeful about their professional futures. Criminal justice programs can use these findings to identify opportunities to better advise women in their programs. The findings are also useful for potential employers in the criminal justice system to recognize how to effectively recruit more women into positions dominated by men.

The Effects of Camera Monitoring on Police Officer Performance in Critical Incident Situations: a MILO Range Simulator Study
Body-worn cameras (BWCs) continue to be adopted by law enforcement agencies around the world, yet how camera monitoring affects performance dimensions of policing in “critical incident” situations has received scant attention. We contribute to filling this gap. Guided by distraction-conflict theory from psychology, we conducted a laboratory experiment and used electrophysiological methods (EEG and ECG) to explore whether officer performance during simulated critical incidents is impaired by camera-induced attentional conflict. Results from a convenience sample of police officers from a medium-sized, Midwestern police department in the USA reveal that camera monitoring had complex, often deleterious, effects on cognitive load, stress arousal, and performance. The current investigation supports a small but growing body of research revealing that BWCs, like any new technology, not only have intended positive consequences, but also potential unintended negative ones that need to be considered from a safety standpoint. A more thorough discussion of policing in the age of BWCs and other forms of camera surveillance is overdue.
