On July 1, 2016, shortly after the death of Lei Yang during arrest by police, the Ministry of Public Security (Gong’anbu) introduced BWVCs as mandatory for all the Chinese frontline police officers through issuing Regulations on Audio and Video Recording of Onsite Law Enforcement for Public Security Units (RAVR). However, despite the nationwide use of BWVCs, the research literature on BWVCs in China remains sparse. Studies from the United States and the United Kingdom provide evidence of the importance of officers’ buy-in to the new technology. It is, therefore, essential to know Chinese officers’ views and evaluations of using BWVCs. Using an anonymized online questionnaire, adapted from published international prior studies, this article reports and evaluates the views of 255 Beijing officers of the Beijing Police Department. Our analysis suggests that, overall, there was a high level of support and a high level of self-reported use for BWVCs among respondents not only because they are required to use them but also because they wanted to. International Criminal Justice Review - Registration at source 23/4/2020 Research article Families’ Experiences of Deaths After Police Contact in the United States: Perceptions of Justice and Injustice This article examines deaths after police contact (DAPC) in the United States using qualitative research undertaken with families who lost loved ones after police contact. It aims to understand their perceptions of the processes they go through in the aftermath of these deaths and how this affects their worldview. The article uses the principles of procedural justice and belief in a just world (BJW) to consider how these experiences affect families’ views of justice and injustice in the United States. Key findings are that families perceive police and criminal justice system processes to be procedurally unjust in cases of DAPC and that their BJW is significantly affected as a result of the outcomes they experience. It further argues that there is a racial dimension to these experiences, as White participants appeared to feel these effects more keenly than Black and Mixed-Heritage participants. International Criminal Justice Review 23/4/2020 Research article How Satisfied Are Siblings of Homicide Victims With Police? Police personnel and services may have a tremendous impact on the psychological well-being of siblings who become victims of the murder of a brother or sister. Despite this, only one study has examined satisfaction with police from the perspective of siblings. The current study helps correct this paucity of research by studying a sample of 67 siblings aged 6–40 (M = 20.4) years when a sibling was murdered. Satisfaction with police contact and service were quantitatively and qualitatively explored. Overall, almost 60% of the participants indicated satisfaction. Participants were satisfied when police were beacons of humanity and committed to justice. Police Journal - Registration at source 23/4/2020 Research article Using Crowdsourcing For A Safer Society: When the Crowd Rules Neighbours sharing information about robberies in their district through social networking platforms, citizens and volunteers posting about the irregularities of political elections on the Internet, and internauts trying to identify a suspect of a crime: in all these situations, people who share different degrees of relationship collaborate through the Internet and other technologies to try to help with or solve an offence. The crowd, which is sometimes seen as a threat, in these cases becomes an invaluable resource that can complement law enforcement through collective intelligence. Owing to the increasing growth of such initiatives, this article conducts a systematic review of the literature to identify the elements that characterize them and to find the conditions that make them work successfully. European Journal of Criminology - Registration at source 23/4/2020 Research article Police Science As An Emerging Scientific Discipline This article examines the epistemological and institutional configuration of police science. Our results indicate that although police science fulfills the epistemological prerequisites for a scientific discipline, the corresponding institutionalization, which is a necessary condition of its consolidation, has taken place only partially and in a few Western countries. Institutional establishment of police science fails primarily because of the lack of a collective definition of the field, but also because of deficits in the density of interorganizational contacts and the flow of information. This has several theoretical, but also practical implications, mainly on the issue of institutional legitimacy, which are discussed at the end of this article.
