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 VDA, based on an assessment of the quality of audio and video obtained from that platform. Second, we compare the coding of BWC footage obtained from a sample of police-citizen encounters to coding of the same events by on-scene coders using an instrument adapted from in-person systematic social observations (SSOs). Findings show that there are substantial and systematic audio and video gaps present in BWC footage as a source of data for social science investigation that likely impact the reliability of measures. Despite these problems, BWC data have substantial capacity for judging sequential developments, causal ordering, and the duration of events. Thus, the technology should open theoretical frames that are too cumbersome for in-person observation. Theoretical development with VDA in mind is suggested as an important pathway for future researchers in terms of framing data collection from BWCs and also suggesting areas where triangulation is essential.","PeriodicalId":21849,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Methods & Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"1120 - 1154"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42377767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With no high-end statistics or computational methods, outsiders and novices alike often feel that they can judge such research “cold,” having neither thought much about it, much less practiced it. After all, they can read the text and understand it, especially when qualitative researchers often take pains to make their prose readable. This has unfortunate results: It creates a lot of random noise in evaluation, but it also means that evaluators will tend to revert to their implicit habits of evaluation —either based on prior theoretical and political commitments, or developed through work with very different methods—when they sit on recruitment, funding, or award committees. At the heart of Small and Calarco’s Qualitative Literacy there is thus a seemingly simple question: How do we know good qualitative research when we see it? How can we tell when it isn’t? When we teach and read quantitative research, we have a more-or-less agreed upon sense of the way methods should be used and evidence should be supported. While there is never complete agreement, reviews of quantitative work tend to converge around a statistically-defined shared set of standards. Qualitative research is a different beast. While qualitative researchers usually detect good research when they see it, they seem to have a harder time turning this implicit knowledge of craft into a set of guidelines. If the impetus of the book already makes it worthwhile, the key move it makes is as important: rather than gravitating towards quantitative standards and attempting to make qualitative research as close as possible to quantitative reasoning, Small and Calarco (much as Small did in his How many cases do I need?) are adamant that the standards are both rigorous, and quite different.
