Very excited for the team to win ASC's Division of Experimental Criminology's Outstanding Experimental Field Trial award. This work is from our study that conducted the first randomized controlled trial of body-worn cameras in a correctional facility. Full list of pubs in thread:

Having my research be included in a report like PERF about a topic I've devoted my career to is an absolute dream. Thank you Police Executive Research Forum for sharing the work done by @danslawrence.bsky.social Jessica Dockstader, CWP and I! www.policeforum.org/trending29ma...

I’m particularly excited for this one, as I feel it’ll help move the field in the right direction. Our NEW study defines and reviews the literature associated with law enforcement intelligence centers (LEICs). The main takeaway: These centers need to be studied more!

NEW study examining suicidal ideation among law enforcement officers. The big (not surprising) takeaway: improving mental health and responses to PTSD are critical aspects to preventing suicide among this population. More details in thread and links at the end.

Adding my first thread from my research to this new site. This comes from my most recent study on the gunshot detection technology, ShotSpotter, and the impact it has on notifying police departments of shooting events, officer workload, and response times.

I’m new to this site and seeing how it might grow. I’m a non-academic researcher who studies the impact technology has in criminal justice agency settings. More about me can be found at www.daniel-s-lawrence.com. Give a follow if you’d like interesting studies on our criminal justice system.
