AIC: How police body-worn cameras can facilitate misidentification of domestic and family violence victims as offenders

Link to: How police body-worn cameras can facilitate misidentification in domestic and family violence responses

The Australian Institute of Criminology has released a new study by researchers from Deakin University and Monash University examining victim-survivor perspectives on police use of body-worn cameras when responding to domestic and family violence callouts.

The research examines data collected through an anonymous online survey of 119 victim-survivors of domestic and family violence, and semi-structured interviews with 14 victim-survivors, from across Australia.
While victim-survivors generally saw the use of body-worn cameras as beneficial, they also identified a number of concerns regarding their use in responses to family and domestic violence.

Two key concerns identified by victim-survivors relate to the potential for body-worn camera footage to facilitate their misidentification as primary aggressors, and the use of footage by perpetrators to present (false) evidence of themselves as blameless.
