Warriors and Vigilantes as Police Officers: Evidence from a Field Experiment with Body-Cameras in Rio de Janeiro

This webinar will be held in English. Translation from English to Spanish will be provided.
 
In recent years, one of the most prominent interventions seeking to address police violence has been body-worn cameras. It is believed that body-cameras can curb police violence by increasing supervisor monitoring capacity and by increasing the probability that police are prosecuted and convicted for abusive behavior. Thus far, the evidence available is mixed and comes mostly from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in the United States. Context clearly matters and it is critical to understand the effects of body-cameras in more violent settings, such as the ones observed in parts of Latin America where police often use military-style weapons and strategies.

In this webinar, Beatriz Magaloni will present the results of the first randomized experiment on police body-cameras in a high-violence setting: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Tania Pinc will comment on the implications of this research. A 10-minute Q&A will follow the presentation.

We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
