RNZ (Radio New Zealand) 22/11/2020 News Police BWCs As ‘Neutral Observers’: Perceptions of Public Defenders The research on police body-worn cameras (BWCs) has rapidly expanded to evaluate the technology’s impact on a range of police outcomes.

In a first step, contextual changes and challenges of coaching self-defense are identified through the lenses of a professional coaching model.
