摘要

执法机构采用随身摄像机(BWC)通常被视为提高警方透明度、追究警官责任以及与所服务社区建立信任的一种手段。然而,BWC 在提高警方透明度方面的有效性仍有待商榷,许多司法管辖区仍缺乏明确的 BWC 录像披露政策。本文采用混合方法设计,调查了警官和公民对警察透明度的看法,更具体地说,调查了他们对 BWC 录像发布期望的分歧和趋同。数据收集自 78 名警官(通过访谈和焦点小组)和魁北克省的 1,609 名市民(通过电话调查)。这两个群体都认为,公开发布 BWC 录像对于提高警方透明度意义重大。然而,他们对使用该录像对警方干预行为进行准确评估的看法却不尽相同。公民对 BWC 录像的完整性表示担忧,而警官似乎更担心 BWC 录像公布后可能会对事件产生误解。警官和公众之间的期望差异凸显了警方透明度的多面性,这应成为未来 BWC 录像披露政策的参考。

Divergence and Convergence on Police Transparency: Comparing Officers’ and Citizens’ Preferences on Body-Worn Camera Footage Release
The adoption of body-worn cameras (BWCs) by law enforcement agencies is commonly viewed as a means of enhancing police transparency, holding officers accountable, and building trust with the communities they serve. The effectiveness of BWCs in promoting police transparency, however, is still debatable, with many jurisdictions still lacking clear BWC footage disclosure policies. Following a mixed-method design, this article investigates the perspectives of officers and citizens on police transparency and, more specifically, the divergences and convergences in their expectations regarding BWC footage release. The data were collected from 78 police officers (through interviews and focus groups) and 1,609 citizens from the province of Quebec (through phone surveys). The two groups share the belief that the public release of BWC footage is significant in promoting police transparency. Yet they hold differing views on its use to reach accurate assessments of police interventions. While citizens expressed worries about the integrity of BWC footage, officers appeared more concerned about the potential misunderstanding of events following the release of BWC footage. The variations in expectations between officers and the public highlight the multifaceted nature of police transparency, which should serve to inform future BWC footage disclosure policies.
