dc.description.abstractPolicing issues continue to plague the United States yearly. These issues consistently frustrate the relationship between citizens and police, particularly African Americans and police departments. Body-worn Cameras have often been the sought-out solution to help to ensure justice. However, the answer to whether BWCs work to address negative policing outcomes, such as racial/ethnic disparities in arrests is inconsistent. This research evaluated BWCs’ influence arrest disparities by examining the racial/ethnic composition of arrests in Chicago following the implementation of the Chicago Police Department’s BWC program. The study found that BWCs has limited influence on the racial/ethnic arrests, and no overall impact on racial/ethnic arrest disparities.
