Understanding the Impact of Forensic Evidence on Homicide Clearance
Homicide clearance rates have dropped considerably between the 1960s and 1990s, a period called the Great Decline. Recently researchers have argued that one of the factors leading to the Great Decline was the increase in prosecutors demand for forensic evidence to proceed with prosecution. Using a unique sample of 4,111 homicide investigator case files, or “murder books,” from 1990 to 2010 compiled and digitized by the Los Angeles Police Departme…
The Validity and Reliability of Body-Worn Camera Meta-Data and Its Utility for Understanding Policing
Police departments nationwide collect and store volumes of visual and audio data from body-worn cameras (BWCs). These meta-data have been underutilized by police and researchers. In this study, we explore whether BWC meta-data can provide more information on officer activity than what can be achieved from data in a department’s records management system (RMS) alone. The research examines the similarities and differences in officer activity by com…
Situational and Victim Correlates of Increased Case Fatality Rates in Los Angeles Shootings, 2005–2021
The gun assault case fatality rate measures the fraction of shooting victims who die from their wounds. Considerable debate has surrounded whether gun assault case fatality rates have changed over time and what factors may be involved. We use crime event data from Los Angeles to examine the victim and situational correlates of gun assault case fatality rates over time. We estimated log binomial regression models for the probability of death in ea…

This book explores systematic social observation (SSO) methodology by identifying steps used, benefits/disadvantages, and challenges associated with SSO.
Systematic Social Observation of the Police in 21st Century
Video Data Analysis and Police Body-Worn Camera Footage
Video data analysis (VDA) represents an important methodological framework for contemporary research approaches to the myriad of footage available from cameras, devices, and phones. Footage from police body-worn cameras (BWCs) is anticipated to be a widely available platform for social science researchers to scrutinize the interactions between police and citizens. We examine issues of validity and reliability as related to BWCs in the context of …
Public cooperation and the police
Calls-for-service represent the most basic form of public cooperation with the police. How cooperation varies as a function of instances of police activity remains an open question. The great situational diversity of police activity in the field, matching the situational diversity of crime and disorder, makes it challenging to estimate causal effects. Here we use homicides as an indicator for the occurrence of a standardized set of highly visible…
Impact of social distancing during Covid-19 pandemic on crime in Los Angeles and Indianapolis
Governments have implemented social distancing measures to address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The measures include instructions that individuals maintain social distance when in public, school closures, limitations on gatherings and business operations, and instructions to remain at home. Social distancing may have an impact on the volume and distribution of crime. Crimes such as residential burglary may decrease as a byproduct of increased g…
Assessing the effects of body‐worn cameras on procedural justice in the Los Angeles Police Department
In this article, we explore variations in procedural justice delivered in face‐to‐face encounters with citizens before and after the implementation of body‐worn cameras (BWCs). We draw on recent advances in the measurement of procedural justice using systematic social observation of police in field settings in the Los Angeles Police Department. Data collected on 555 police–citizen encounters are examined in bivariate and multivariate models explo…
Fear of crime, incivilities, and collective efficacy in four Miami neighborhoods
The Social Organization of Self-Help
Using Donald Black's theory of self-help, and drawing on the collective security model and the fear and loathing hypothesis, this paper examines factors influencing defensive weapon ownership. Interview data from 9,021 randomly selected households in 59 residential neighborhoods are used to assess the association between household and neighborhood characteristics and decisions to purchase weapons for self-protection. Findings indicate that defens…
