Study 5: The Distal Effects of BWVs
摘要
The survey for study 5 was designed in consultation with the RDG and the British Transport Police to determine how the Criminal Justice Unit perceives the usefulness of BWV footage. As with comparable studies (Petersen et al., 2023), the survey had to be brief due to the limited time available to prosecutors. Overall, we find a great level of support for BWVs amongst lawyers, as they value the evidentiary powers of BWVs - as long as they are used properly by the frontline members of staff.
