  • Description: PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY Body-worn cameras (BWCs) do not have clear or consistent effects on most officer or citizen behaviors, but different practices need further evaluation Law enforcement agencies have rapidly adopted BWCs in the last decade with the hope that they might improve police conduct, accountability, and transparency, especially regarding use of force. Studies eligible for this review included those that examined the use of BWCs by law enforcement officers using either randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental research designs, and that measured police or citizen behaviors, rather than their perceptions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Background In the past decade, many communities have experienced high-profile police-involved shootings and deaths in custody, as well as citizen protests and demands for greater police accountability and transparency. Results Findings from this Campbell systematic review indicate that BWCs can reduce the number of citizen complaints against police officers (% change = −16.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] [−30.0 to −0.7]), although it remains unclear whether this finding signals an improvement in the quality of police–citizen interactions or a change in reporting.
