Abstract:
Our book focuses on the fourth and final stage related to video surveillance: the “edit and share” decision to share or not share footage of body-worn cameras publicly. Our presentation will focus on the results of the third and fourth chapters. We examine whether the anticipated timing of accountability and trust plays a role in preferences about sharing BWC footage with the public. We contrast the preferences and perceptions of transparency of 4,000 Americans – 3,000 of them from three cities – to those of more than six hundred American police chiefs. We explain how mutual trust shapes accountability responses. See slides here.
