@ArchboldCarol So wonderful to meet you too! I’m thrilled for your presidency! 😊

@PeterMoskos This is all UCR data. Collected from CIUS -> Violent Crime -> Table 8 state cuts. 2015 is missing for consistency, rather than filling with another data source, since there was no UCR report.

[DC CJCC @DC_CJCC]

Combating Violent Crime is a key CJCC priority. Today we are releasing the Gun Violence Problem Analysis Summary Report conducted by @NICJR01. Read it here:https://t.co/nrCnxnEqVZ

Tomorrow in my CJ policy class, we'll be talking about law enforcement-based approaches to gang violence including gang takedowns & civil gang injunctions. We'll contrast this with focused deterrence & violence interruption which we covered last week. Reading list in the thread👇

[Lisa Barao @lmbar16]

@AaronChalfin There is of course plenty of variation between the cities we’ve worked in and though the article says this is “nationwide,” we of course don’t have the data to extrapolate that far!

[Lisa Barao @lmbar16]

@AaronChalfin Thanks for sharing! To add context, this discussion in the interview referred to our findings from violence problem analyses conducted in 10 different cities where we found that between about 30-70% of victims and suspects in homicides and shootings were group/gang involved

There is a bunch of new research out there on the effects of body-worn cameras (BWCs) worn by police officers. Short thread summarizing four new papers 👇

[Daniel Lawrence @Dan_S_Lawrence]

With the recent NYC RCT examining the impact body-worn cameras have on community perceptions toward the police (see: https://t.co/GO4J94Y2dv), I want to point to one of my studies that has gotten NO LOVE on citations: Community perceptions: procedural justice, legitimacy and BWCs

[Lisa Barao @lmbar16]

Additionally, HOW the police utilize their BWCs likely also makes a difference. The deployment of BWCs alone may be unlikely to affect attitudes, but how and when BWC video is used and released to the public may have more substantial effects on broad community perceptions. (9/9)

[Lisa Barao @lmbar16]

BWCs are positioned a critical technological tool for improving police-community relations. Our new article examines whether the adoption of BWCs within the NYPD resulted in meaningful changes to broad community perceptions of the police. (1/9)

[Lisa Barao @lmbar16]

Despite our limitations, results highlight that BWCs are not a silver bullet solution to enhancing community perceptions of the police. BWC programs should be partnered with a strong focus on community policing and PJ programs that may have more positive outcomes. (8/9)

[Aaron Chalfin @AaronChalfin]

New working paper joint with @benconomics, @emilyweisburst and @MWillJr that considers the race-specific effects of a larger police force in the U.S. https://t.co/VAdLctGbjd

[Andrea M. Headley, PhD @AM_Headley]

SOOO impressed by this paper. Great example of care & diligence to overcome shortcomings of policing data to get at more accurate conclusions on the impact of diversity in policing. Well done!
