Through this process, we identified the most common delay-causing activities and developed routine and non-routine activity models for each. A comparison of these models showed that variations from the routine models emerged due to changes in the division of labor, instruments, community, and speech intentions. We contribute to research on designing socio-technical systems by (1) identifying needs and opportunities for computerized support that address delays in complex medical teamwork and (2) examining how an intervention changes an activity model.

Through semi-structured interviews combined with diagramming activities with thirteen industry QUXR practitioners, we have revealed that collaboration becomes a bigger challenge than data analysis and that it often leads to (1) preferring simple tools despite the QDA specialized tools' beneficial features and (2) wanting to triangulate their work to convince stakeholders.

However, little prior research has examined their usage or their connections to individual privacy and the role of race in policing, two growing topics of concern in the US. As a case study, we examine the Chicago Police Department's (CPD's) use of broadcast police communications (BPC) to coordinate the activity of law enforcement officers (LEOs) in the city. From a recently assembled archive of 80, 775 hours of BPC associated with CPD operations, we analyze human-generated text transcripts of radio transmissions broadcast 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on August 10th, 2018 in one majority Black, one majority White, and one majority Hispanic area of the city (24 hours of audio) to explore four research questions: (1) Do BPC reflect reported racial disparities in policing? (2) How and when is gender, race/ethnicity, and age mentioned in BPC? (3) To what extent do BPC include sensitive information, and who is put at most risk by this practice? (4) To what extent can large language models (LLMs) heighten this risk? We explore the vocabulary and speech acts used by police in BPC, comparing mentions of personal characteristics to local demographics, the personal information shared over BPC, and the privacy concerns that it poses. Analysis indicates (a) policing professionals in the city of Chicago exhibit disproportionate attention to Black members of the public regardless of context, (b) sociodemographic characteristics like gender, race/ethnicity, and age are primarily mentioned in BPC about event information, and (c) disproportionate attention introduces disproportionate privacy risks for Black members of the public. This study shows BPC can provide a novel window into disproportionate attention (i.e., via radio communications) by law enforcement officers to specific racial groups, leading to increased privacy vulnerability for those groups, particularly Black males.</p>","PeriodicalId":36902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"8 CSCW2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12369999/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
