Research interests: effects of technology on police legitimacy, networks of police misconduct, and military gear usage by local law enforcement.

我的研究兴趣在于警务。首先，我感兴趣的是技术对警察合法性的影响。具体地，已经显示出身体佩戴的相机（“BWC”）有助于警察的合法性（Ariel等人，2020年），并调整对警察的投诉（米切尔等人，2018年）。我渴望调查像生物武器这样的技术如何影响警察在严重不信任警察的地区的合法性。第二，我希望将社交网络分析应用于警察的不当行为。具体来说，像伊利诺伊州的芝加哥和印第安纳州的布卢明顿这样的美国城市已经公开了他们的警察投诉记录。因为警察投诉可以被用作不当行为的粗略代理（Hassell &阿赫博尔德，2010），我渴望将社交网络分析应用于这些数据集，以更好地了解不当行为的网络。第三，我希望调查当地执法机构（“LEAs”）使用军用装备的影响。具体而言，美国、中国和以色列等国家的地方执法机构越来越多地在当地民众身上使用装甲运兵车等军事装备（Brewer等人，2016年; Kraso，2013年; Kraska，2020年）。这种军用装备使用的影响还没有得到很好的理解：迄今为止的所有研究都是基于相关性的，并且受到自我选择的影响（例如Bove & Gavrilov，2017; Gunderson等人，2020年）。因此，我渴望设计一个随机对照试验，为这项研究做出实质性贡献。

My research interests lie in policing. First, I am interested in the effects of technology on police legitimacy. Specifically, body-worn cameras ("BWCs") have been shown to contribute to police legitimacy (Ariel et al., 2020) and modulate complaints against police (Mitchell et al., 2018). I am eager to investigate how technologies like BWCs affect police legitimacy in areas of significant police distrust. Second, I hope to apply social network analysis to police misconduct.Specifically, US cities like Chicago, Illinois, and Bloomington, Indiana have publicly released their police complaint records. Because police complaints can be used as rough proxies for misconduct (Hassell & Archbold, 2010), I am eagerto apply social network analysis to these datasets to better understand networks of misconduct. Third, I hope to investigate the effects of military gear usage by local law enforcement agencies ("LEAs"). Specifically, local LEAs in countries like the USA, China, and Israel are increasingly using military gear like armored personnel carriers on their local populace (Brewer et al., 2016; Balko, 2013; Kraska, 2020). The effects of this military gear usage are not well understood: all studies to date are correlation-based and suffer from self-selection (e.g. Bove & Gavrilov, 2017; Gunderson et al., 2020). I would therefore be eager to design a randomized control trial to contribute substantially to this inquiry.
