Cops, Cameras, and Crisis

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Cops, Cameras, and Crisis is a timely and important contribution to understanding a contemporary policing reform effort. It breaks through the rhetoric and provides readers with the empirical realities associated with police body worn cameras. It is a must-read for police researchers and policymakers and practitioners. - Charles M. Katz, co-author of The Police in America: An Introduction This concise, meticulous, and well-written book provides an extraordinary contribution to the larger policing literature in general and to the literature on police body-worn cameras more specifically. Written in an accessible and scholarly tone, this book provides the reader with a well-balanced history of body-worn cameras, a thorough, rigorous, and unbiased review of the extant empirical research in the area, and a thoughtful list of recommendations for future research. This book should be on the shelf of all academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in the topic, and is well suited for undergraduate and graduate coursework. - Wesley G. Jennings, co-author of Criminological and Criminal Justice Research Methods
