The Times - Subscription at source 6/5/2019 News To Adopt Or Not to Adopt: Contextualizing Police Body-Worn Cameras Through Structural Contingency and Institutional Theoretical Perspectives There has been an increase in the adoption of body-worn cameras (BWCs) by law enforcement agencies in the United States and abroad. While several studies have showed promising results in officer satisfaction, community satisfaction, and other outcomes, the rationale for the adoption and diffusion of this technology has received little attention. This article suggests that agency adoption of BWCs can be understood through two competing theoretical frameworks: structural contingency theory and institutional theory. Intended as a research note, the paper sets up a number of testable propositions and hypotheses pertaining to BWCs as contextualised through these theories and measurable through the recent Law Enforcement Management Administrative Statistics-Body-Worn Camera Supplement. Criminal Justice Review - Registration at source 6/5/2019 Research article Public Attitudes About Body-Worn Cameras in Police Work: A National Study of the Sources of Their Contextual Variability Based on a large national sample of U.S. adults, the current study examines the nature and correlates of public support for body-worn cameras (BWCs) in various policing activities. Multivariate analyses were performed to assess the direct and moderating effects of individuals’ socioeconomic characteristics, general police attitudes and experiences, and specific beliefs about benefits of BWCs on the level of public support for this technology. Strong public support for BWC usage is found across different areas of police work. However, substantial contextual variability in this support is also evident when the analysis focused on the conjunctive influences of individuals’ level of confidence in social institutions, personal involvement in these institutions, and beliefs about police legitimacy and their effectiveness. These results are discussed in terms of their implications for future research on the sources of public receptivity, resistance, and change in these attitudes about BWCs over time.

The Irish News 6/5/2019 News Police Officer and Supervisor Perceptions of Body-Worn Cameras Pre- and Postimplementation: the Importance of Officer Buy-in Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are increasingly more common in their use among police officers. Research on BWCs is the focus of an increasing number of studies seeking information on stakeholder perceptions and the impact of the technology on behaviour and other related outcomes. Although the emerging research is mixed, several studies find that officers have concerns about the use of BWCs and may not fully support their use. The current study utilises survey data from two Southern police departments. Police officers and supervisors were surveyed on their perceptions of BWCs prior to the implementation of BWCs, then again after their implementation. The analysis focuses on changes in perceptions before and after BWC implementation and examines the impact of respondent rank on perceptions. Overall, perceptions became more positive toward BWCs after the implementation; however, differences emerged when considering rank. Respondents at the supervisor rank expressed significantly less concern and more support for BWCs than those at the officer level after implementation. These results are discussed in the context of the importance of officer support and buy-in for BWCs. Policy suggestions and future directions are also discussed.

Police Oracle - Subscription at source 6/5/2019 Analysis, Feature Examining Job Satisfaction Among Analysts: the Impact of Departmental Integration, Role Clarity, and IT Responsibilities Previous research has indicated that a lack of departmental integration and role clarity, as well as departmental expectations to provide information technology support beyond a crime-mapping capacity, are some of the most common occupational issues for crime and intelligence analysts. Although these challenges are noted, little research has attempted to test the hypotheses that these occupational issues are empirically related to analysts’ satisfaction with their jobs. Drawing upon a survey of 113 members of the International Association of Crime Analysts, the current inquiry tests whether departmental integration, role clarity, and information technology responsibilities impact analysts’ job satisfaction. Findings indicate that when analysts have a greater perception that their work is fully integrated into the mission of the department, and their role is clear, that job satisfaction is higher. Implications for future research and policy are also discussed.
