De-escalation technology - The impact of body-worn cameras on citizen-police interactions
We provide experimental evidence that monitoring of the police activity through body-worn cameras reduces use-of-force, handcuffs and arrests,and enhances criminal reporting. Stronger treatment effects occur on events classified
ex-ante
of low seriousness. Monitoring effects are moderated by officer rank, which is consistent with a career concern motive by junior officers. Overall, results show that the use of body-worn cameras de-escalates conflicts.
