  • the impact of law enforcement officer perceptions of organizational justice on their attitudes regarding body worn cameras
    Journal of Criminal Justice, 2017
    Co-Authors: Michael J Kyle, David R White
    Abstract:

    AbstractCivil unrest following recent questionable officer involved shootings and other use of force incidents has prompted public demands for police officers to be equipped with body-worn video cameras (BWCs). As a result of these demands, agencies across the US are rapidly acquiring the devices. While BWCs are widely assumed to be effective tools to document police/citizen encounters, increase law enforcement transparency, and improve both officer and citizen behavior, relatively little research has been conducted in regard to their actual impact. While some preliminary studies have examined officer attitudes concerning the devices, specific factors that potentially affect officer attitudes concerning BWCs and ultimately their level of ‘buy-in’ have not been examined. The concept of organizational justice is likely one such factor. Through the administration of a survey to a sample of 201 law enforcement officers from four Midwestern and Southern region agencies and those in attendance at regional conti...

  • profiling screening and criminal recruitment
    MPRA Paper, 2013
    Co-Authors: Christopher Cotton
    Abstract:

    We model major criminal activity as a game in which a law enforcement officer chooses the rate at which to screen different population groups, and a criminal organization (e.g. drug cartel, terrorist cell) chooses the observable characteristics of its recruits. Our model best describes smuggling or terrorism activities at borders, airports and other security checkpoints. The most effective law enforcement policy imposes only moderate restrictions on the officer's ability to profile. In contrast to models of decentralized crime, requiring equal treatment never improves the effectiveness of law enforcement.

  • profiling screening and criminal recruitment
    Social Science Research Network, 2012
    Co-Authors: Christopher Cotton
    Abstract:

    We model major criminal activity as a game in which a law enforcement officer chooses the rate at which to screen different population groups and a criminal organization (e.g., drug cartel, terrorist cell) chooses the observable characteristics of its recruits. Our model best describes smuggling or terrorism activities at borders, airports, and other security checkpoints. When the social costs of crime are high, law enforcement is most effective when it is unconstrained in its ability to profile, that is its ability to screen different population groups with different probabilities. For more moderate costs, the most effective law enforcement policy imposes only moderate restrictions on the officer’s ability to profile. In contrast to models of decentralized crime, eliminating profiling by law enforcement is never optimal.
