Irish Examiner (Republic of Ireland) 2/7/2022 News Body-Worn Cameras: An Effective Or Cosmetic Policing Response to Domestic and Family Violence? Drawing together the literature on police body-worn cameras and video-recorded evidence in domestic and family violence matters, this article explores whether technology can ‘fix’ criminal justice responses to domestic and family violence. We argue that the use of police body-worn cameras and digitally recorded audio-visual evidence in domestic and family violence matters is not a cure-all for deficiencies in criminal justice responses to domestic and family violence. While the use of such technologies may alleviate some of the deficiencies highlighted in the Australian state of Victoria’s 2016 Royal Commission into Family Violence, it raises serious concerns about victim’s agency and privacy. We argue that the introduction of such technologies requires significant investment in training and education – for police to adapt to their changed role and for judicial officers, legal practitioners and potential jurors in understanding and interpreting victim survivor behaviour on film. Criminology and Criminal Justice - Registration at source 2/7/2022 Research article Calculating the Base Rate in Polygraph Populations and the Posterior Confidence in the Obtained Results in the Comparison Question Test, Built Upon the Proportion of Outcomes: the Case of Israel Police The present paper demonstrates a combined method of statistics and algebra for computing the base rates of deceptive vs. truthful examinees that take polygraph tests in defined populations, based on the proportions of the deceptive and truthful test results. It also evaluates the degree to which a specific test outcome of the polygraph comparison question test (CQT) examination can be trusted to be correct. A concrete example was taken from the Israel Police. It shows that the confidence with which a deceptive outcome (DI) can be trusted to be correct is only about 0.65. In contrast, the posterior probability of a truthful outcome (NDI) to be correct is 0.98. The method is generalized to a wide range of hypothetical proportions of outcomes. The significance of the finding is discussed concerning the dilemma of using polygraph results as evidence in court.
