    In August 9th 2014, an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a Ferguson, Missouri police officer. The officer faced no charges because Wilson was not wearing a body camera therefore there was no reliable evidence. There have been many similar incidents like this one therefore I think police officers should wear body cameras.These tiny cameras placed on an officer’s chest, shoulder, or head can record and provides unbiased evidence and improve their behavior. Although, the cameras raise privacy concerns for the public but policies can help address this concerns. Also they also protect police officers and the public.…

    White (2015) noted some minor concerns with health and safety issues, issues with training, and the financial aspect of the use of the body-worn cameras. White (2015) pointed out that there is a need for more research on potential risk factors for officers wearing the body cameras. Potential issues with wearing body cameras that need to be examined are possible neck and head injuries from the weight of the device. The United Kingdom Home Office guide, as cited in White (2015), concluded that although some of the health issues are minimal it is important to take into account the effects it might have on police officers. The amount of time it will take to train an officer on how to properly record, review and download footage is also a concern for some.…

    Police should be required to have a body worn camera because the camera decreases complaints from the public and increases public trust about police officer behavior. Police now are trying to gain the public’s trust because of the recent shootings and police misconducts that have been debated on over the news and social media. These cameras will show the police behavior whether it be good or bad, becoming more transparent on the way they act and the department’s overall reputation. Attorney General Loretta Lynch addressed the issue and stated, "Body-worn cameras hold tremendous promise for enhancing transparency, promoting accountability, and advancing public safety for law enforcement officers and the communities they serve," (Knickerbocker).…

    Correlation Paper

    • 776 Words

    Our initial hypothesis for this study stated that we believed that our two measures, social physique anxiety and hypersensitive narcissism, would be highly correlated. Two of the many symptoms of narcissism include low self-esteem and feelings of inferiority. Because of this, we can deduce that someone with narcissistic tendencies would also be prone to having feelings of social anxiety. When in a social situation, narcissistic individuals express feelings of superiority and vanity. Internally, however, they often feel inferior and self-conscious about how they look. Similarly, those who have high levels of social anxiety often feel that they are being judged by others on their appearance, thoughts/statements, etc. Logically, one could assume that the two surveys intending to measure the construct of body image would have a moderate to high level of correlation, and that this correlation would be one of significance.…
