Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) 17/10/2024 News Partners in Force? Understanding Police Use of Force from a Network Perspective Objectives: The importance of peer relations is rooted in decades of policing research; however, scholars have largely overlooked the role of peers in officers’ use-of-force behaviors. The current study investigates the “connected” nature of police use of force. Methods: Data on officers’ networks are reconstructed from 11,834 use-of-force reports involving 1,894 officers in seven departments in New Jersey. Exponential Random Graph Models evaluate which officer-level attributes and network dependencies are associated with officers’ co-involvement in police use-of-force incidents. Results: Findings indicate the police use of force is not evenly distributed but concentrated on a subset of officers and partnerships. Variation in officers’ likelihood of using force together is driven by individual characteristics, including officer race/ethnicity, rank, and tenure. In addition, co-involvement in force clusters among officers, with officers likely to engage in force together when they share a connection. Conclusion: This study highlights an alternative starting point for understanding police use of force. By paying greater attention to the structural makeup of the department, such as the connectivity of the force network, agencies can design efforts that aim to reduce incidents of force through relational properties such as assignments and partnerships.

Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) 17/10/2024 News Police facial recognition applications and violent crime control in U.S. cities This study presents novel insights into the effects of police facial recognition applications on violent crime and arrest dynamics across 268 U.S. cities from 1997 to 2020. We conducted generalized difference-in-differences regressions with multiway fixed effects to exploit this technology's staggered implementation. Our findings indicate that police facial recognition applications facilitate reductions in the rates of felony violence and homicide without contributing to over-policing or racial disparities in arrest for violent offenses. Greater reductions were observed for cities that adopted these technologies earlier in the study period, suggesting that their public safety benefits appreciate over time. The results of parallel trend and robustness tests also support these conclusions. While further research is necessary to assess the implementation and effects of facial recognition systems in various contexts, presented evidence suggests that urban police agencies that responsibly deploy these innovations to support crime control efforts can keep their residents safer and reduce the lives lost to violence.
