Longford Leader (Republic of Ireland) 22/6/2022 News The Merits and Risks of Body-Worn Camera Footage in Domestic and Family Violence Incidents and Legal Proceedings: A Study of Police Perceptions and Experiences There has been significant investment by police agencies in the use of body-worn cameras (BWCs). Preliminary evidence suggests that when used in the context of domestic and family violence, BWC footage may strengthen evidential cases and prosecutions. There is, however, a paucity of research examining the merits of and risks posed by the use of BWC footage in DFV incidents and legal proceedings. Notably absent in much of the literature are the views and experiences of police officers who, as initial owners of BWC footage, are likely to affect how it is produced and interpreted. This paper presents findings from the first Australian study to examine how police officers, as users and operators of BWC technology, perceive the use of BWC footage in DFV-related civil and criminal legal proceedings in two Australian state jurisdictions: Western Australia and Queensland. While broadly supportive of BWC technology, police respondents, especially those from specialised DFV units, identified various benefits and limitations to using BWC footage in the context of DFV, including that BWCs have the potential to capture DFV upon police call-outs, but can be limiting insofar as they do not show ongoing patterns of violence. Our findings highlight the importance of exercising domain-specific, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to understanding the benefits and limitations of BWC technology. Policing and Society - Registration at source 22/6/2022 Research article A Case Study of Police-Identified Foraging Burglary Offenders This study adds to the emerging literature in respect of foraging criminal offenders. Optimal forager theory is drawn from ecology where it is used to examine the movement of foraging animals. Over the past decade and a half this theory has crossed disciplines into the criminological sphere. Within the criminal context, it has been used successfully to support police crime prevention and reduction strategies, most notably within the area of domestic burglary. By identifying the presence of a foraging offender police analysts predict future areas they will target and use this information to direct police preventative patrols. Despite its widespread use within policing there is little research to support the existence of this subset of offender beyond examining their near repeat victim selection and crime scene behaviour. This study aims to build upon this previous research by using a case study approach to examine the geographical profiles, demographic and criminal conviction characteristics of police-identified foraging offenders. In doing so, it offers new insights and distinctions with existing burglary offender typologies that indicate that foragers may indeed be a legitimate typology of offender. The study also outlines its limitations and areas for future research that will enable this theory to be further explored.
