The Telegraph 4/8/2019 News Perceived Appropriateness of Training and Organizational Commitment Among Korean Police Although organizational commitment (OC) generates several beneficial outcomes to law enforcement agencies, the policing literature has underexamined OC. Using data gathered from 11,709 Korean police in 2012, this study conducted analyses of structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to examine the relationship between OC and perceived organizational support. In addition, SEM was conducted to determine whether Allen and Meyer’s three components of OC is appropriate. The results indicated that two predictors of perceived appropriateness of training (i.e., perceived support of training and training needs) strongly accounted for OC. However, unlike previous studies, this study found that hypotheses in the model with the subcomponents of OC (affective, continuous, and normative commitments) could not be verified. In sum, for sturdier examinations, future studies should apply the Allen and Meyer model to diverse agencies. International Criminal Justice Review - Registration at source 4/8/2019 Research article Body-Worn Cameras: Evidence-Base and Implications Body-worn cameras (BWCs) have become a popular technology for use in police forces around the world; however, little is known about the effects of this technology on policing and on the criminal justice system more generally. In this article, we discuss reported benefits and limitations of body-worn cameras. We examine the current evidence-base for BWCs and the legislative framework in NSW. We then raise four key issues that we believe require further empirical attention: (1) bias involved in viewing BWC recordings; (2) the effect of BWCs on officer memory and credibility; (3) the effect of BWCs on officer well-being; and (4) specific considerations involved when officers review their own recordings. By raising such issues, we hope to provoke discussion and further research about the implementation of BWCs. Appropriate guidelines and legislation must aim to maximise the effectiveness of the technology as well as balance ethical and cultural demands.
