Police Professional - Subscription at source 4/7/2018 News Influence of Community Characteristics on Serious Police Use of Force Events in An Australian Policing Jurisdiction: A Test of Minority Threat, Social Disorganisation, and Ecological Contamination Theories Extant research on police use of force has established that force is not distributed evenly across communities, with minority threat, ecological contamination, and social disorganisation some of the most common theories used to understand the distribution of police use of force in the US. The current study aimed to test the relevance of these theories for explaining the distribution of serious police use of force events in Australia. We tested a use of force frequency model using negative binomial regression, and a use of force severity model using ordered logistic multilevel modelling. Results demonstrated support for ecological contamination theory, social disorganisation and partial support for socio-economic disadvantage in predicting the frequency of serious police use of force events across communities, while minority threat theory was not supported. In contrast, results suggested that individual and situational factors are more influential in predicting force severity than community characteristics. Policing and Society - Registration at source 4/7/2018 Research article Police Body-Worn Cameras: Effects on Officers’ Burnout and Perceived Organisational Support Police departments in the United States are rapidly adopting body-worn cameras (BWCs). To date, no study has investigated the effects of BWCs on police officers themselves, despite evidence suggesting negative effects of electronic performance monitoring on employee well-being. Police officers already experience higher levels of burnout than other professions. We hypothesise that the intense surveillance of BWCs will manifest in how police officers perceive the organisational support of their departments and will increase burnout. We test these hypotheses using data from patrol officers (n = 271) and structural equation modelling. We find BWCs increase police officer burnout, and this effect is statistically different from zero. We also find that BWCs decrease officers’ perceived organisational support, which mediates the relationship between BWCs and burnout. Greater perceived organisational support can blunt the negative effects of BWCs. Our study is the first to situate effects on officers at the centre of BWC literature.
