Using a national sample of U.S. adults, this study examines the level of public support for facial recognition technology (FRT) and its correlates across different policing activities.

Individuals on community supervision were randomly assigned to the DRC group or the control group.

Findings suggest that DRCs might effectively achieve their goals, at least in the short ter…

This volume brings together leading police scholars to examine eight major innovations which emerged dur…
