"All of the major issues have been reported, so we know the police know. Why is the state government hiding this stuff?" he said. "If gangs are travelling into any area to commit heinous crimes, why would you cover it up? That's what the community's asking. "The police are saying to me privately they're being told to report these incidents as 'groups' rather than 'gangs' and not to whip up hysteria in the community." Mr Newbury and residents have called for urgent action with concerns the violence is getting out of control. "The idea that it's being covered up is outrageous ... and not admitting that these are gangs I think goes to political correctness," he said. "I can only go by what the police are telling me privately and what they're saying is they've been told not to report the race because it will create other issues."

Policing Insight 29/3/2021 Analysis, Feature Explaining Public Support For Body-Worn Cameras in Law Enforcement Public opinion surveys have clearly demonstrated broad support for the use of body-worn cameras (BWC’s) in law enforcement. Despite clear evidence of broad support, the factors that contribute to this support remain unclear. The current study uses data from a public opinion survey of policing in a mid-sized urban city to examine factors significantly related to public support for requiring police officers to wear cameras. Ordinal logistical regression analyses of the impacts of demographic and neighborhood factors, beliefs about whom BWC’s protect, good and bad experiences with police, and trust in the police on support for the cameras suggest that awareness of bad experiences with the police increases support for BWC’s, while believing that the cameras protect the police decreases support. These findings can inform discussions between communities and police agencies about the role of body-worn cameras in policing, particularly as they relate to the broader issues underlying the need for surveillance technologies in the first place.
