Carefully review the research described in the article by Barak Ariel and his colleagues titled “Wearing body cameras increases assaults against officers and does not reduce police use of force: Results from a global multi-site experiment.” This article is included separately in Module #2. (Links to an external site.)
In your paper, discuss and identify the following:
The theory tested by the research;
The hypothesis(es) derived from the theory;
The independent variable(s) and the dependent variable(s) in the hypothesis(es);
The operationalization of the independent and the dependent variables (i.e., how they are measured in the study);
The method(s) used to collect the data
6, The main finding(s) from the study;
Do you think this study was well-executed? If so, why? If not, why not? Be specific!
Find two other empirical studies evaluating the effects of the police use of body cameras using the SSU library data bases. “Empirical” means that they involve the collection and analysis of survey, experimental or other types of data- they are not purely theoretical articles about body cams. Please specify which data base(s) you used and analyze in which respects the methodologies employed in these studies and the conclusions they reached were similar to or different from those in the “Wearing body cameras increases assaults against officers and does not reduce police use of force” article. Of the three studies, which do you think is the best and why?
***Relevant links for finding the data bases: 1) our library’s homepage https://www.salemstate.edu/libraryLinks to an external site.: select Criminal Justice database(s) from the Database drop down menu and 2) SSU social science librarian Tara Fitzpatrick’s online research guide for CJ http://libguides.salemstate.edu/criminaljustice/databasesLinks to an external site..
9.Several “unanswered questions” are raised in the “Results” and the “Discussion” section of the “Wearing body cameras increases assaults against officers and does not reduce police use of force” article concerning this study’s findings about the impact of the use of body cameras on: 1) police use of force and 2) the likelihood of an officer being assaulted. Suggest two improvements that could be made in any aspect of this study’s methodology, for future research in the area, that would clarify one or more of the questions raised in the “Results” or the “Discussion” sections.
Your paper should be 5-7 double-spaced pages in length.
**Do not write your name on the paper itself since we will be doing anonymous peer reviews as a second part of this assignment.
***Please be sure to cite each reference in the appropriate place(s) in the body of your paper and give full citations to each reference in a “Bibliography” section at the end of the paper. The citation format should be APA style, which you can review at http://libguides.salemstate.edu/criminaljustice/citationLinks to an external site. and/or https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ (Links to an external site.)
The citation format within the body of the paper should be: author’s last name followed by the year of publication in parentheses for books or journal articles, or the URL address for websites.
Before you submit the first draft of your assignment, you will be required to complete an appointment with the SSU Writing Center for feedback. You will also be required to do a peer review of another student’s paper. I will post separate instruction memos later for these phases of this assignment.
All due dates for the initial submission, the peer review and an optional final submission of your initial paper will be specified in the banner section at the top of our Canvas page.
***The first step on this project is to submit on the assignment thread for this project references to two empirical studies as described in #8. above. Be sure to submit the full article or book title, year of publication, volume and pages as well as the accompanying abstract if it is a journal article. This abstract usually appears as a paragraph or two (often in italics) at the beginning of the article. DO NOT SUBMIT A WEB ADDRESS (URL) ALONE AS I SOMETIMES AM UNABLE TO DIRECTLY ACCESS THE ARTICLE THIS WAY IF I NEED TO SEE IT BEFORE APPROVAL. The due date for this is posted with the assignment. I will give feedback about your suggestions to make sure you are on the right track.
After you have received my approval of the references you can proceed with writing the answer to question #8. above. You can begin work on the other questions right after reading the “Wearing body cameras increases assaults against officers and does not reduce police use of force” article itself. Please follow the assignment link due dates for the initial draft of your paper, the peer review of another student’s paper and the final version of your paper (if you choose to submit a revised version of your paper).
