A randomized controlled trial of the impact of body-worn camera activation on the outcomes of individual incidentsJournal of Experimental Criminology - Tập 18 - Trang 247-272 - 2020
Jessica Huff, Charles M. Katz, E. C. Hedberg
Evaluate the impact of body-worn cameras (BWCs) on officer-initiated activity, arrests, use of force, and complaints. We use instrumental variable analysis to examine the impact of BWC assignment and BWC activation on the outcomes of individual incidents through a randomized controlled trial of 436 officers in the Phoenix Police Department. Incidents involving BWC activations were associated with ...... hiện toàn bộ

After years of decreasing public punitiveness and declining crime rates, politicians are seeking evidence-based crime policies to reduce mass incarceration without increasing crime. One such policy that has been implemented in several US cities is the Operation Peacemaker Fellowship (OPF), which incentivizes conformity and program participation by providing monetary stipends to individuals at risk...... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding cybercrime involvement: a quasi-experiment on engagement with money mule recruitment ads on InstagramJournal of Experimental Criminology - - Trang 1-20 - 2022
A. Moneva, E. R. Leukfeldt, L. M. J. Bekkers
Examine the level of engagement of young users with money mule recruitment ads on Instagram. Three ads reflecting key cybercrime involvement mechanisms and targeting Dutch user clusters were run on two Instagram placements. By means of this quasi-experimental 3 × 2 factorial design, we were able to analyze the reach and views of the ads, click-through rates, gender of the participants, and tempora...... hiện toàn bộ
A research note on Mendelian randomization and causal inference in criminology: promises and considerationsJournal of Experimental Criminology - Tập 18 - Trang 171-182 - 2020
Brian B. Boutwell, Charleen D. Adams
Here, we provide a brief overview of a technique that may hold promise for scholars working on key criminological and criminal justice topics. We provide an abbreviated overview of Mendelian randomization (MR), a newer variant of instrumental variables analysis, facilitated by expanding genomic technology worldwide. Our goal is to offer readers, unacquainted with the topic, a quick checklist of ke...... hiện toàn bộ
