1. Does automated feedback impact the acceptability of AI-generated police body worn camera review? An implementation science natural experiment.
PMID:日期:2025-11-24The diffusion of innovations in policing has often been hindered by barriers to implementation and officer acceptance, which can derail an innovation regardless of its validity or effectiveness. Implementation Science (IS) is a useful lens for addressing such concerns because IS empirically examines the way a new technology or strategy is deployed, and it offers insights on barriers, facilitators, and fidelity. The present study uses an IS framework to investigate one of the latest innovations in policing: Artificial Intelligence (AI). In early 2024, two Arizona police departments deployed Truleo, an AI-driven body-worn camera review platform, via randomized controlled trials, but only one of those departments used a feature of Truleo that sends automated positive feedback emails to officers when they engage in behaviors assessed as "highly professional" by the AI algorithm. Using cross-sectional survey data from line-level officers ( = 84), we estimate both intent-to-treat and instrumental variable regression models to examine the effect of the automated emails on three implementation outcomes: acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. Officers in the department with automated feedback enabled reported higher levels of the appropriateness of Truleo. The instrumental variable models suggest that the automated emails resulted in higher levels of acceptability and appropriateness. The findings highlight: (1) the importance of evaluating different implementation strategies when deploying new technologies like AI, and (2) the potential value of providing AI-generated positive feedback to officers in the field as a means of ensuring the successful implementation of AI-driven officer accountability platforms in an agency.

2. Reducing confounding in natural experiments: evaluating a multilevel matching approach.
PMID:日期:2025-11-22The current study examined the utility of rigorous multilevel matching procedures in a large national experiment examining the effectiveness of the Stepping Up (SU) Initiative for increasing evidence-based behavioral health services to justice-involved individuals in and out of jail. Data for the current study were derived from surveys of administrators in 133 SU and 133 non-SU matched comparison counties. We used hierarchical linear modeling to test whether our pairing method successfully removed confounding variables from influencing baseline values of outcomes. The multilevel case-controlled matching procedure reduced number of confounding factors (from 9 to 4 over 3 tested models). It improved predictive models by accounting for differences in baseline county characteristics. Analyses identified additional variables (e.g., recent funding changes) to consider in future matching procedures. Matched models yielded fewer significant predictors, reflecting successful control of baseline differences and clearer isolation of SU-related effects. Multilevel case-controlled matching procedures can reduce bias due to confounding variables in baseline values of outcomes. Multilevel case-control matching is recommended in natural experimental designs in criminal justice and health research.

3. 'I can see that it's bad for them': third party judgements about the effect of procedural injustice on mental health and relationships with the police.
PMID:日期:2025-02-25Explore why people react so strongly to procedural experienced by others. One possibility is that people recognise the marginalisation and psychological harm that injustice can cause. An online experiment tested whether exposure to procedurally unjust police behaviour directed at crime victims would influence participants' assessments of the subject's marginalisation, mental health outcomes, and their overall perceptions of the police ( = 300). Exposure to procedurally unjust police behaviour led to more negative evaluations of its psychological impact on the victim. Procedural injustice was seen as harmful to mental health due to its link to social exclusion. Such exposure reduced trust, legitimacy, and identification with police. These negative perceptions were driven by recognition of the victim's psychological harm. Findings highlight the critical role of psychological harm in driving public responses to unjust policing. Addressing this harm is essential for fostering trust and repairing fractured relationships between police and the communities they serve.

4. Then a miracle occurs: cause, effect, and the heterogeneity of criminal justice research.
PMID:日期:2024-09-12In "Cause, Effect, and the Structure of the Social World" (2023), Megan Stevenson makes a claim that randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have not had a significant effect in criminal justice settings. She then draws the conclusion that the gold standard for research designs, RCTs, are inherently incapable of doing so, demonstrating that the social world they intervene on is too complex, but also too resilient, to respond to the types of interventions that are evaluable by RCT. She calls the insistence that RCTs can work an "engineer's" view of the world, which she discards as a myth. The argument then conflates RCTs with other methods of generating and sustaining change in organizations and systems, and closes suggesting RCTs should be discarded for less rigorous but more sweeping means of social reform. This article proceeds as follows: It characterizes Stevenson's argument, which she asserts is empirical, as a de facto meta-analysis of criminal justice RCTs executed as a heuristic and presented in a narrative format. It argues that if a formal meta-analysis would be rendered invalid by violating established protocols, then a heuristic analysis that commits the same errors would be invalid as well. The analysis then presents the prohibitions on pooling studies with heterogeneous designs, interventions, outcomes, and metrics for the purpose of meta-analysis. It demonstrates that Stevenson pools a wide range of heterogenous studies, rendering her empirical meta-analytic claims problematic. It is true that many criminal justice RCTs have produced null or lackluster results-which also constitute an important outcome-and attempts to replicate significant findings have often been unsuccessful. This is not unique to criminal justice: psychology was recently in crisis when it was determined few of its most prominent studies could be replicated. However, less rigorous methods of reform do not solve this problem. Instead, more comprehensive research designs such as hybrid implementation/effectiveness trials can reveal aspects of our social world that impact external validity and generalizability. Findings from these studies can help illuminate the conditions that impact outcomes and sustainably modify highly resilient human behaviors. These methods arise from techniques in medicine and public health, which Stevenson brackets off as fundamentally different from criminal justice. This type of thinking may be the actual myth that prevents progress.

5. Who benefits from criminal legal reform? A natural experiment to assess racial disparities in a policy targeting monetary sanctions.
PMID:日期:2024-01-02To examine disparities in court fines between American Indian and White convicted persons before and after a South Dakota reform, which trained court personnel to only assess fines that could be reasonably paid by defendants. A natural experiment design using criminal records for the universe of convictions for misdemeanor arrests between July 2011-June 2015 ( = 34,700) was employed to estimate the association between the reform and the likelihood of a fine using logistic regression. The reform was associated with reductions in fine assessments in urban (OR, 0.63; CI, 0.39-1.04); rural, no Indian Country (OR, 0.24; CI, 0.18-0.33); and rural, part-Indian Country counties (OR, 0.24; CI, 0.18-0.32). Both American Indian and White persons experienced these reductions, but the reductions were smaller for American Indians in urban counties. A defendant's race and features of local court structures may shape judicial behavior in response to monetary sanctioning reforms.

6. Making the call: how does perceived race affect desire to call the police?
PMID:日期:2023-05-12There is little scholarship about what affects calls for service, even as they originate the vast majority of police interventions in the USA. We test how racial perceptions, ambiguous situational contexts, and participant demographics affect desire to call the police. We conduct a nationwide survey experiment with 2,038 participants, varying vignette racial composition (subjects described as black or white) and seriousness of event (less serious, more ambiguous or more serious, less ambiguous) to test two outcomes: 1) desire to call the police and 2) perceived threat. Perceived race does not directly affect mean desire to call the police or perceived threat. However, political views moderate the effects of race: compared to politically moderate participants, very liberal participants express less desire to call the police while very conservative participants express more desire to call the police in a vignette featuring young Black men. The political polarization of desire to call the police raises questions about racially differentiated risk of more serious criminal justice system events, including arrest and incarceration, for racial and ethnic minorities.

7. Quality-checking the new normal: trial modality in online jury decision-making research.
PMID:日期:2023-05-01We sought to examine differences between videotaped and written trial materials on verdicts, perceptions of trial parties, quality check outcomes, perceived salience of racial issues, and emotional states in a trial involving a Black or White defendant. We predicted that verdicts and ratings of trial parties would be similar for those participants viewing a videotaped trial and those reading a written transcript. However, we suspected that emotional states might be heightened for those watching a video and that those reading transcripts would perform better on quality checks regarding trial content (but worse on those involving trial party characteristics, including defendant race). Participants ( = 139 after removing those who did not meet our threshold for data quality) recruited from Amazon's Mechanical Turk were randomly assigned to watch a video or read a transcript of a trial involving an alleged murder of a police officer. They completed a questionnaire probing their verdict, perceptions of trial parties, perceived salience of racial issues, and emotional state, and responded to a series of quality checks. Participants in the videotape condition performed significantly worse on quality checks than did those in the transcript condition. There were no significant differences between modalities in terms of verdict or perceived salience of racial issues. Some other differences emerged between conditions, however, with more positive perceptions of the pathologist and police officer in the transcript condition, and more negative emotion elicited by the trial involving a White defendant in the videotape condition only. There were no meaningful differences between videotaped and written trial materials in terms of outcome (verdict), but the presence of some trial party rating and emotional state differences stemming from modality epitomizes the internal/ecological validity trade-off in jury research. Our quality check results indicate that written transcripts may work better for obtaining valid data online. Regardless of modality, researchers must be diligent in crafting quality checks to ensure that participants are attending to the stimulus materials, particularly as more research shifts online.

8. Taking the problem of colliders seriously in the study of crime: A research note.
PMID:日期:2023-03-30We provide a brief overview of collider bias and its implications for criminological research. Owing to the nature of the topics studied, as well as the common data sources used to carry out much of this research, work in the field may often become vulnerable to a specific methodological problem known as collider bias. Collider bias occurs when exposure variables and outcomes independently cause a third variable, and this variable is included in statistical models. Colliders represent somewhat of a paradox in that there is scholarship discussing the issue, yet it has managed to remain a relatively cryptic threat compared to other sources of bias. We argue that, far from being an obscure concern, colliders almost certainly have pervasive impact in criminal justice and criminology. We close by offering a general set of strategies for addressing the challenges posed by collider bias. While there is no panacea, there are better practices, many of which are underutilized in the disciplines that study crime and its attendant topics.

9. Are risk-need-responsivity principles golden? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of community correction programs.
PMID:日期:2023-01-07Using meta-analysis to determine the effect size of the recidivism rate of participants in community correction programs that are conducted entirely in community settings. Following the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA), 25 qualified studies contributed 35 independent effect sizes. Full participation in a program significantly reduced the recidivism rate. Participant age was a significant moderator of heterogeneity. Those aged over 18 have lower recidivism rates. Interventions that fully follow the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) design principles achieved similar results to those that did not. Recidivism rates increase more than 12 months after the program ends. The effectiveness of community correctional programs varies depending on the participant's age. The RNR principles are not golden. The above factors should be carefully considered when conducting intervention design in the future. Results should be interpreted with caution due to the literature's high heterogeneity and low quality. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11292-022-09550-w.

10. Factors associated with successful reintegration for male offenders: a systematic narrative review with implicit causal model.
PMID:日期:2022-12-31This systematic review explored factors associated with successful reintegration into the community for male offenders and investigated which factors may be causally related to reintegration. Database searches were conducted in November 2021; a narrative synthesis and associated causal model with directed acyclic graph (DAG) was used to analyse the factors of reintegration. Thirty-four studies met the inclusion criteria. Risk-Need-Responsivity-based interventions had the strongest evidence for reducing post-release offending. Fourteen good-quality studies met the inclusion criteria. The DAG shows six exposure variables (prison visits, witnessing victimisation, recovery perception, risk assessment, in-prison treatment, and pre-prison health) which link to several post-release outcomes (criminal justice outcomes, drug use, mental health, housing, and reintegration barriers) and confounding variables (demographics, offending history, prior reintegration barriers, substance misuse and attitudes). The review identified factors that may be causally related to reintegration for male offenders and warrant further empirical investigation.
