The New Zealand Herald (New Zealand) - Subscription at source 15/2/2025 News Systematic Social Observation of Police-Citizen Encounters: Coding and Measurement Through Body-Worn Cameras Research based on systematic social observation (SSO) methods and instruments have added immeasurably to the body of knowledge about discretionary police behavior. Until recently, SSO has provided for in-person observation of police work in its natural setting. The advent and proliferation of body-worn cameras (BWC) have enabled researchers to conduct SSO through BWC recordings, which affords advantages and disadvantages relative to in-person SSO. This paper first reviews the strengths and limitations of in-person SSO and outlines the relative merits and likely drawbacks of BWC-based observation. Then, questions about the quality of the measures formed from data coded from BWC recordings are addressed through the analysis of SSO data coded from BWC recordings of 2071 police-citizen encounters in Albany, NY. The findings concern sample bias, criterion validity, inter-observer reliability, and the effects of observers’ characteristics and outlooks on measures of police behaviors, citizen characteristics and behaviors, and encounter characteristics. Justice Quarterly - Subscription at source 15/2/2025 Research article The effect of true crime docuseries on romance fraud reporting to the police Romance fraud occurs when an individual is deceived for financial gain by someone with whom the victim believes to be in a romantic relationship. Despite its widespread impact on victims, romance fraud remains significantly underreported, limiting the data available for developing effective prevention strategies. This study examines the relationship between the release of TV portrayals of romance fraud and the number of reported cases in the United Kingdom from 2014 to 2024. Our findings show a significant positive relationship between these TV portrayals and the monthly number of reported cases, though this effect diminishes over time. The results suggest that TV portrayals may raise public awareness of romance fraud, shape attitudes that encourage reporting, and lead to a temporary increase in reported cases. However, the impact of such portrayals is short-lived, with reporting declining in the months following the release of each series. These findings provide valuable insights into how media platforms can raise awareness of sensitive crime issues to promote reporting and ultimately enhance prevention efforts.
