在过去的几年里，几起事件突显了许多社区的警察和居民之间的紧张关系。警察随身相机一直被提倡作为一种工具，通过它可以加强警察与社区的关系，同时提高警察部门的透明度和问责制。公众和联邦政府对BW的支持很强烈，一些研究调查了警察对BW的看法。然而，缺乏对不同部门军官对生物武器的看法的比较，以及对部署《生物武器公约》之前和之后的军官态度的评估。这项研究比较了2013至2015年间，在《生物武器公约》项目实施前后，美国西部三个警察部门的警官对生物武器的看法。研究了不同部门之间警官认知的相似和差异，作者考虑了这些发现对警察部门推进《生物武器公约》技术的影响。
Over the past few years, several events have highlighted the strained relationship between the police and residents in many communities. Police officer body-worn cameras (BWCs) have been advocated as a tool by which police–community relations can be strengthened, while simultaneously increasing transparency and accountability of police departments. Support for BWCs from the public and federal government is strong, and some studies have examined police perceptions of BWCs. However, comparisons of officer perceptions of BWCs in different departments are lacking, as are assessments of officer attitudes pre- and post-BWC deployment. This study compares officer perceptions of BWCs in three police departments in the western United States between 2013 and 2015, both before and after BWC program implementation. The similarities and differences among officer perceptions across departments are examined, and the authors consider the implications of findings for police departments moving forward with BWC technology.
