Welcome to the New Year everyone. This month at CJ Access check out a new policing-focused posting under Research Briefs. Find out what police officers think about body worn cameras (BWCs), what factors affect their decision to charge and arrest on stalking behaviors in domestic violence, and how likely officers are to adhere to a “blue code of silence”. Also explore a longitudinal study to see if there is any support for claims of a “war on cops”, examine the factors that increase the likelihood of injury to subjects and officers in use of force incidents, and investigate the claim that witness and suspect interview transcriptions distort and contaminate oral testimony and confessions when used in court.
