Do officers with body cameras have reduced use-of-force incidents compared to officers without body cameras?

I'd like to See an example of a An Example real research design Section. Can you break one down for mal Research Design Sure. You can find examples in most peer- reviewed journal articles you've read. But here's a selection of a 'real' research design. Note that the actual research design from this example paper was 5 pages long and very detailed. An Example Research Design: What each paragraph does: Methods Each of the subtitles tells the reader Random Assignment of Participants what that subsection covers: random Our study focused on how officers randomly assigned to wear Body Worn assignment, official data, & analysis. Cameras (BWCs) compare to a control group of officers not randomly assigned to wear BWCs. After identifying the seven geographic sectors of the Orlando Police The first two paragraphs describe Department (OPD), OPD officers were invited to serve as participants from all of how the sample was selected these areas. Following this recruitment procedure, the research team arrived at a list (OPD volunteers), and how the of the officers (within the seven geographic areas) who were willing to be study sample was split (randomly) into the subjects. treatment (BWCs) and control (no Next. approximately half of the volunteer study subjects were randomly BWCs) conditions. Note that this is assigned to either the BWC experimental condition (n = 46) or the no-BWC control condition (n = 43). This stratified random sampling across the seven police sectors for a completed study, so it was done in order to ensure geographic representation across the jurisdiction of the is written in past tense Ce.g., "..were OPD and to reduce the likelihood of contamination such as when an officer with a invited to serve"). Your proposal BWC was on scene with an officer without a BWC. should be in future tense (e.g., "..will be invited to..") Official Data Official data was provided by the OPD and included officer demographic The next subsection describes where characteristics (gender, race, age, and years of experience), use of force incidents the data is coming from. In this (e.g., any incident where an electronic control device or ECD, chemical agent, case, this is official police data about impact weapon, tackle/takedown, strike, etc. is used a response-to-resistance officer demographics, use of force incident form is filled out on the officer involved), and serious external (citizen- generated) complaints (e.g. aggressive, threatening, and/or intimidating officer incident reports (DV 1), and citizen behavior and/or excessive use-of-force) for each of the study participants in the 12 complaints (DV 2). Notice how the months pre-BWC implementation and in the 12 months post-BWC measurement of use of force is implementation. clearly explained. Analysis The analysis subsection describes The analysis proceeds in several stages. In the first stage, statistical (t-test) how the researchers will use the comparisons for officer demographics (e-g.. gender, race, age, and, years of data from the experiment. In this experience) and for the outcomes of interest (e.g., the frequency and prevalence of case, there are two stages to this response-to-resistance incidents and serious external complaints measured in the study: Stage I is checking that the 12 months pre-BWC implementation) are made between the officers randomly randomization process worked, and assigned to wear BWCs and the officers randomly assigned not to wear the BWCs. This analysis is necessary to evaluate the robustness of the random assignment in the two groups are similar, ensuring equating officers in the two groups and eliminating any pre-existing differences. the apples-to-apples comparison. Stage 2 involves a series of t-test comparisons of the frequency and The second stage compares the use prevalence of response-to-resistance incidents and serious external complaints of force and citizen complaints between the BWC officers and the no-BWC officers in the 12 months post-BWC outcomes of the two groups to see if implementation. In the final stage of the analysis, t-test comparisons are made there are differences. The last stage within groups to ascertain whether or not any reduction (or increase) observed in response-to-resistance incidents and serious external complaints were statistically explores the differences within each significant from pre-BWC implementation to post-BWC implementation. group before/after the experiment. The real study has more detail than is given here, and this could include a limitations subsection as well
