The cameras are thought to be capable of deterring officer misconduct, improving civilian behaviour and capturing valuable evidence of criminal wrongdoing. Unfortunately, in Australia, little public or academic attention has been directed to the privacy implications of these devices. This is in contrast to the United States, where there is vigorous debate about the potential for body-worn cameras to intrude upon the privacy of vulnerable individuals and to contribute to the over-surveillance of minority communities. One promising response to privacy concerns in the United States has been to democratise the rules around body-worn cameras by involving the public in the formulation of police guidelines. This Comment suggests that Australia should similarly involve the public in body-worn camera policy formulation.

Reuters 20/9/2020 News Not just a walk in the woods? Exploring the impact of individual characteristics and changing job roles on stress among conservation officers Research relating to police stress has typically focused on officers working in urban areas, neglecting their rural counterparts. This is especially true of conservation officers, who are tasked with enforcing laws in state parks and other recreational areas. To date, only a handful of studies have sought to better understand their experiences and perceptions. This is problematic due to the fact that these officers face unique duty-related stressors and are increasingly tasked with performing more general law enforcement duties (e.g., drug enforcement, serving warrants). The current study seeks to further our understanding of the topic using survey data gathered from 346 conservation officers spread across six states. Specifically, it assesses whether officer characteristics (e.g., age, education, length of service) and frequency of performing traditional law enforcement duties influence perceived stress. Results of the multivariate analyses indicate that higher levels of education, longer tenures in the field, and a higher frequency of performing traditional duties all serve to increase officer stress. The implications of these finding for conservation agencies and their officers are discussed.

Interviewers are required to actively listen, accurately remember information, think of questions to ask, make judgements, and seek clarification, whilst conducting interviews with witnesses, victims, or suspects. The current study examined the impact of increased cognitive load on mock interviewers’ recall of a witness’s account. Participants took the role of an investigative interviewer in one of three conditions, high cognitive load (HCL), moderate cognitive load (MCL), or no cognitive load (NCL). Participants watched a video‐recorded free narrative of a child witness during which they followed condition‐relevant task instructions. Each participant rated their perceived cognitive load during their task and then recalled (free and cued recall) the content of the witness’s account. Participants in the HCL and MCL conditions perceived higher cognitive load and demonstrated poorer performance on the free recall task than those in the NCL condition. Participants in the HCL condition demonstrated poorer performance on the cued recall task compared to participants in the NCL condition.
