Very excited for the team to win ASC's Division of Experimental Criminology's Outstanding Experimental Field Trial award. This work is from our study that conducted the first randomized controlled trial of body-worn cameras in a correctional facility. Full list of pubs in thread:

Decided to update my publications on my website by topical area. They include: Body-worn cameras Diversion Programs Gunshot Detection Technology Improving Interactions Intelligence Centers Officer Wellness Agency Assessment Prosecution Surveillance Check them out here: daniel-s-lawrence.com

#APB Spotlight Day 12! When do officers actually activate body-worn cameras (BWCs)? Research by Ashlin Oglesby-Neal, Bryce Peterson, & @danslawrence.bsky.social explores 1 million+ officer-event records from Milwaukee PD, and finds big variations. 🧵👇(1/4)

#APB Spotlight Day 10! Law enforcement suicide is a national crisis. Research by @danslawrence.bsky.social, Jessica Dockstader, & @kepadil.bsky.social breaks down 977 officer deaths by suicide in the U.S. (2016–2022) and shows where, and among whom, the risk is highest. 🧵(1/4)

Having my research be included in a report like PERF about a topic I've devoted my career to is an absolute dream. Thank you Police Executive Research Forum for sharing the work done by @danslawrence.bsky.social Jessica Dockstader, CWP and I! www.policeforum.org/trending29ma...

I’m particularly excited for this one, as I feel it’ll help move the field in the right direction. Our NEW study defines and reviews the literature associated with law enforcement intelligence centers (LEICs). The main takeaway: These centers need to be studied more!

NEW study examining suicidal ideation among law enforcement officers. The big (not surprising) takeaway: improving mental health and responses to PTSD are critical aspects to preventing suicide among this population. More details in thread and links at the end.

Just hit a milestone: over 1,000 citations of my research! It's humbling to know that my work is contributing to meaningful conversations in the criminal justice field. Grateful for every collaborator, reviewer, and reader. Check out daniel-s-lawrence.com for more info about me.

NEW study examining suicide rates among sworn law enforcement officers from 2016 to 2022, disaggregated by year, sex, and geographic region and division. Links to article at end.

NEW study on how various individual and event-level factors influence police officers’ decision to activate their body-worn cameras (BWCs) across both community member-initiated services and officer-initiated activities. Links to article at end.

We've also added an 'Overview' feature that lets users see how all crime types are changing in agency or across the whole sample. Check it out and feedback is greatly appreciated! Realtimecrimeindex.com

Lots of great scholars here. I recommend a follow!

Adding my first thread from my research to this new site. This comes from my most recent study on the gunshot detection technology, ShotSpotter, and the impact it has on notifying police departments of shooting events, officer workload, and response times.

I’m new to this site and seeing how it might grow. I’m a non-academic researcher who studies the impact technology has in criminal justice agency settings. More about me can be found at www.daniel-s-lawrence.com. Give a follow if you’d like interesting studies on our criminal justice system.

I started an academic criminologists/criminal justice scholars starter pack. This is an ongoing starter pack that I am still expanding, so please let me know if you'd like to be added (sorry for any omissions!), and please share if you find it useful. go.bsky.app/SL8dP7Z #ASC2024 #criminology

Looking forward to #ASCSanFran24 this week. Below are the title slides for the three presentations that I'll be a part of. Can't wait to catch up with everyone and see some great presentations! Say hi if you see me!
