目前的研究提供了一个统计上严格的程序评估警察随身摄像机（BWCs）对警察应对抵抗（例如，使用武力）的影响。结果表明，从实施生物武器公约前12个月到实施生物武器公约后12个月，生物武器公约官员对耐药性反应的平均频率下降了8.4%，而非生物武器公约官员的匹配样本增加了3.4%。警察部门应考虑采用生物武器和其他战略，以减少警察对抵抗的反应，并提高透明度和问责制。讨论了研究的局限性和未来的研究方向。
The current study provides a statistically rigorous program evaluation of the impact of police body-worn cameras (BWCs) on police response-to-resistance (e.g., use of force). Results indicate that BWC officers' mean frequency of response-to-resistance decreased by 8.4% from the 12 months pre-BWC implementation to the 12 months post-BWC implementation compared with a 3.4% increase observed for the matched sample of non-BWC officers. Police departments should consider adopting BWCs alongside other strategies to reduce police response-to-resistance, and to improve transparency and accountability. Study limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.
