| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Advancements in technology can not only drastically improve the effectiveness and efficiency of policing, but also help enhance police transparency and accountability. An example of the latter is body-worn camera (BWC) programmes in the US. They were introduced throughout the US after nationwide campaigns calling for all the police officers on patrol to use BWCs. This was a response to many police shootings, with the intention that cameras would provide solid evidence on interactions with citizens, and might deter potential police misconduct. As part of my research I published an article that closely examined various aspects of the BWC programmes. I also wrote articles and made presentations on related issues, such as: the use of GPS tracking; amended wiretapping law; use of force at the time of stop and questioning; an in-depth analysis of video-recorded interviews of the defendant in a particular case; and independent institutions promoting police accountability.
