Abstract

ABSTRACT As law enforcement agencies increasingly equip officers with cameras to capture evidence, there is growing interest to explore how video evidence, and specifically video-recorded victim statements, impact domestic violence investigation and prosecution practices. This study sought to better understand how the use of cameras by law enforcement impacted evidence in domestic violence cases. Data were collected from 44 law enforcement officers across five counties as part of an evaluation examining the implementation and subsequent case outcomes of a state-led initiative to collect video-recorded victim statements in domestic violence cases. Findings suggest video statements are a positive mechanism for improving the comprehensiveness of victim statements and enhancing evidence for use in prosecution. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
“看到我们看到的”:执法部门对家庭暴力案件中使用摄像头取证的看法
摘要随着执法机构越来越多地为执法人员配备摄像头来捕捉证据,人们越来越有兴趣探索视频证据,特别是受害者陈述的视频记录,如何影响家庭暴力调查和起诉实践。这项研究试图更好地了解执法部门使用摄像头如何影响家庭暴力案件中的证据。数据是从五个县的44名执法人员那里收集的,这是一项评估的一部分,该评估旨在审查国家领导的收集家庭暴力案件中受害者陈述视频的举措的实施情况和后续案件结果。调查结果表明,视频陈述是一种积极的机制,可以提高受害者陈述的全面性,并增强起诉中使用的证据。讨论了研究的意义和未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍: Victims & Offenders is a peer-reviewed journal that provides an interdisciplinary and international forum for the dissemination of new research, policies, and practices related to both victimization and offending throughout the life course. Our aim is to provide an opportunity for researchers -- both in the United States and internationally -- from a wide range of disciplines (criminal justice, psychology, sociology, political science, economics, public health, and social work) to publish articles that examine issues from a variety of perspectives in a unique, interdisciplinary forum. We are interested in both quantitative and qualitative research, systematic, evidence-based reviews, and articles that focus on theory development related to offenders and victims.
